Process of making dehydrogenation catalysts by oxidizing and sulfiding catalytic metal on a nonacidic support

摘要

The process of the invention comprises oxidizing and then sulfiding materials comprising Group VIA or Group VIIIA (first or second row) catalytic metal on a nonacidic porous support, to produce compositions which have good dispersion of a catalytically active metal component and of sulfide species over the surface of the compositions and high activity as catalysts for the dehydrogenation of organic compounds.
