Chromium modified manganese ferrite oxidative dehydrogenation catalysts

摘要

The presence of 0.05 to 0.4 atom of chromium per atom of manganese in a manganese ferrite oxidative dehydrogenation catalyst improves the yields from oxidative dehydrogenation reactions employing such catalyst. A chromium modified manganese ferrite catalysts containing from 1 to 20 weight percent carbon is also disclosed.
