PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF A DEHYDROGENATION CATALYST AND THE USE THEREOF

摘要

The instant invention relates to a process for the preparation of an improved dehydrogenation catalyst made up of iron oxide and potassium oxide by combining an iron-containing compound made up of from 10% to 100% by weight of a micaceous iron oxide and a potassium-containing compound to form a pellet, followed by calcination, and to the use of the catalyst for the non-oxidative dehydrogenation in the presence of steam of hydrocarbons, in particular the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene.
