Abstract
Abstract Dehydrogenatable hydrocarbons are dehydrogenated by contacting them at dehydrogenation conditions with a catalytic composite comprising a combination of catalytically effective amounts of a platinum group component, a Group IVA metallic component, a Group VA metallic component and an alkali or alkaline earth metallic component with an alumina carrier material. A specific example of the disclosed method is a method for dehydrogenating a dehydrogenatable hydrocarbon comprising contacting the hydrocarbon at dehydrogenation conditions with a catalyst comprising a combination of catalytically effective amounts of a platinum component, a germanium or tin component, an arsenic component and an alkali or alkaline earth metallic component with an alumina carrier material. Disclosed method is particularly useful for the dehydrogenation of long chain normal paraffins to produce normal mono-olefins of the same carbon number.
