improved process for non-oxidative dehydrogenation for catalytic conversion of an oxygen free gas stream

摘要

Use a supported catalyst that includes a catalyst support and a combination of nickel, gallium, and, optionally, one or more of an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal and a lanthanide to effect non-oxidative dehydrogenation of an oxygen-free gaseous stream that comprises an alkane such as ethane, propane or butane to a product stream that comprises a corresponding alkene such as propylene where the alkane is propane.
