The γ‐Al2O3 supported Ni2P catalysts for propane dehydrogenation were prepared by one‐pot method and evaluated to study the platinum‐like behaviour of Ni2P. The catalysts were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy‐dispersive X‐ray Spectrometer (EDS), N2 adsorption at −196 oC and temperature‐programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3‐TPD). Results show that Ni2P is beneficial to the catalytic stability. It exhibits higher conversion for PDH of 23.8% and propylene selectivity of 74.4%.

TiO2 was prepared through a sol–gel method as the thermo-catalyst for oxidative desulfurization (ODS), and H2O2 was selected as the oxidant.
