CATALYST, METHOD FOR PREPARATION THEREOF, AND A METHOD FOR DEHYDRATION OF HYDROCARBONS USING THIS CATALYST Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: hydrogenation-dehydrogenation catalysts.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to production of olefin or diolefin hydrocarbons via dehydrogenation of corresponding paraffinic C₃-C₅-hydrocarbons carried out in presence of catalyst comprising chromium oxide and alkali metal deposited on composite material including alumina and aluminum wherein percentage of pores larger than 0.1 μm is 10.0-88.5% based on the total volume of open pores equal to 0.10-0.88 cm³/g. Preparation of catalyst involves treatment of carrier with chromium compound solution and solution of modifying metal, preferably sodium or sodium and cerium. Carrier is prepared by from product resulting from thermochemical activation of amorphous hydrargillite depicted by formula Al₂O₃·nH₂O, where 0.25<n<2.0, added to homogenous mass in amount 1.0 to 99.0% using, as additional material, powdered aluminum metal, which is partly oxidized in hydrothermal treatment and calcination stages. Hydrocarbon dehydrogenation process in presence of the above-defined catalyst is also described.

EFFECT: increased activity and selectivity of catalyst.
