DEHYDROGENATION OF HYDROCARBON FEEDSTOCKS

摘要

A process for dehydrogenating a hydrocarbon feedstock is provided. The process includes contacting the hydrocarbon feedstock with a catalyst obtained by calcining a mixed metal oxide system of the Formula (1): Fe(II)sMg(II)tZn(II)wCu(II)xMn(II)y Co(II)z] [Cr(III)aFe(III)bGa(III)cAl(III)d Au(III)e] [OH]p[X]q.YH2O where: (i) s, t, w, x, y and z each denotes an integer or a decimal number from 0 to 20,0; (ii) the sum of r, s, t, w, x, y and z is from 3,0 to 20,0; (iii) a, b, c, d and e each denotes an integer or a decimal number from 0 to 2,0; (iv) the sum of a, b, c, d, e and f is from 1,0 to 5,0; (v) p denotes an integer from 4 to 44; (vi) X denotes any anion with a charge of either 1 or 2; (vii) q denotes an integer or a decimal number from 0,5 to 2,0; and (viii) Y denotes an integer from 3 to 7, thereby to dehydrogenate at least one hydrocarbon in the hydrocarbon feedstock.
