CATALYST FOR SELECTIVELY OXIDIZING HYDROGEN AND METHOD OF DEHYDROGENATING HYDROCARBON USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalyst with which hydrogen formed by dehydrogenation reaction of hydrocarbons and hydrogen in a gas containing the hydrocarbons used as the raw material, unsaturated hydrocarbons being products is selectively oxidized. SOLUTION: The catalyst contains at least one element selected from the group of copper and silver of group 11 of the periodic table as an active component and at least one element selected from the group of vanadium, niobium and tantalum of group 5 and is substantially free from elements of the platinum group.
