    摘要: The invention relates to a process for the production of an alkenylaromatic compound comprising the step of:



    contacting a hydrocarbon stream including an alkylaromatic compound with water vapor in the presence of a dehydrogenation catalyst, suitable for the dehydrogenation of the alkylaromatic compound, in one or more consecutive reactors,

    wherein the weight ratio between the water vapor and the hydrocarbon (water/hydrocarbon ratio) is from 0.4 to 1.5, wherein the dehydrogenation catalyst comprises three or more of teeth and a body, such that the cross-section of the dehydrogenation catalyst is a toothed-wheel shape, and wherein the dehydrogenation catalyst comprises, based on the total weight of the dehydrogenation catalyst components as oxides,

    from 30 to 90 weight percent (wt. %) of iron calculated as Fe2O3,
    from 1 to 50 wt. % of potassium calculated as K2O,
    from 1 to 50 wt. % of cerium calculated as CeO2, and
    from 0.01 to 1 wt. % of yttrium calculated as Y2O3. Further the invention relates to a dehydrogenation catalyst comprising:

    from 30 to 90 weight percent (wt. %) of iron calculated as Fe2O3,
    from 1 to 50 wt. % of potassium calculated as K2O,
    from 1 to 50 wt. % of cerium calculated as CeO2, and
    from 0.01 to 1 wt. % of yttrium calculated as Y2O3,

    wherein the wt. % is based on the total weight of the dehydrogenation catalyst components as oxides, wherein the dehydrogenation catalyst comprises at least three teeth and a body, such that the cross-section of the dehydrogenation catalyst is a toothed-wheel shape, and a process of synthesizing such a catalyst.
