Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a dehydrogenation catalyst composite comprising at least one alumina support impregnated with at least one layer of at least one alkaline earth metal element and at least one layer comprising at least one catalytic metal element, at least one group VIA element and optionally, at least one halogen element. The present disclosure also relates to a process for preparation of the dehydrogenation catalyst composite.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a dehydrogenation catalyst composite that is capable of providing a dehydrogenated hydrocarbon product characterized by a bromine number of at least 19. for hydrocarbons. The dehydrogenation catalyst of the present invention comprises a nano-sized complex containing a Group VIII component; a group IVA component and a sulfur containing capping agent; an alkali component; a halogen component; and a support with an inner core of alpha alumina and an outer layer comprising a mixture of gamma alumina and delta alumina.
