CATALYST PRODUCED BY FLAME SPRAY PYROLYSIS FOR AUTOTHERMAL PROPANE DEHYDROGENATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing catalyst particles comprising platinum and tin, in addition to at least one further element selected from lanthanum and caesium, on zirconium dioxide as a support, comprising the following steps: one or multiple solutions containing precursor compounds of Pt, Sn and at least one other element of La or Cs and ZrO2 is/are prepared; the solution(s) is/are converted into an aerosol; the aerosol is introduced into a pyrolysis zone that is directly or indirectly heated; the pyrolysis is carried out and the particles that have formed are separated from the pyrolysis gas. Suitable precursor compounds comprise zirconium(IV) acetyl acetonate, lanthanum(II) acetyl acetonate and caesium acetate, hexamethyl disiloxane, tin-2-ethyl hexanoate, platinum-acetyl acetonate, zirconium(IV) propylate in n-propanol and lanthanum(II)-acetyl acetonate. The invention also relates to catalyst particles obtained using the method according to the invention and to the use of said particles as dehydrogenation catalysts.
