IMPROVED CATALYST SUPPORT MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention relates to a new catalyst support material comprising a mixed oxide essentially of a divalent metal and a trivalent metal in a substantially homogeneous phase, which is a calcination product of a hydrotalcite-like phase calcinated at a temperature of about 700 - 1200 DEG C, wherein the divalent metal/trivalent metal molar ratio is equal to, or higher than 2. The invention relates also to a process of preparing said support, a catalyst of dehydrogenation comprising a 1. Transition row metal and/or Group VIII metal impregnated on said support, and a process for dehydrogenation of light alkanes using said catalyst.
