Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Butenes

Hydrogen Production for Fuel Cells by Selective Dehydrogenation of Alkanes in Catalytic Membrane Reactors

“…For this catalyst, propane conversions to propylene at 550"C were found to be equilibrium limited (25-30Y0 conversion), with a selectivity of 83-90'XO, illustratingthe effectiveness of this dehydrogenation catalyst. Theoretical calculations based on thermodynamic data indicate an equilibrium conversion of 30% at a temperatureof 540"C for propane dehydrogenation to propylene [86,94].…”

The Alkylation of Aromatic Compounds With Olefins

“…Catalyst 1707 of the STANDARD OIL DEVELOPMENT CO. [115], the constituents of which are given in Table 481 and Catalyst 105 of the SHELL DEVELOPMENT CO., the composition of which is given in Table 482, may be mentioned [116]. A catalyst developed by the Dow CHEMICAL CO. also for the dehydrogenation of butane consisted of calcium, nickel, and phosphoric acid in a ratio corresponding to Ca 8 Ni(P0 4 ) e with a content of about 2% of Cr 2 0 3 [117].…”

Pyrolytic and Catalytic Decomposition of Hydrocarbons

“…The catalytic dehydrogenation of butenes was reported by Kearby (41), who describes modifications in composition of the 1707 catalyst. The main feature of this particular catalyst, which consists of 72.4% magnesia, 18.4% ferric oxide, 4.6% copper oxide, and 4.6% potassium oxide is the high selectivity and stability for the conversion of butenes to butadiene.…”
