N-Hexane dehydrogenation

Activated carbon (AC) from coconut shells is used as support for platinum catalysts. A series of catalysts based on platinum and Pt doped Sn were prepared by impregnation on different supports like AC and SiO2. It was shown that the nature of the support has a significant influence on the activity and selectivity to alkenes of the catalysts in the dehydrogenation of nhexane to alkenes. The higher activity and selectivity of the carbon supported platinum catalyst can be explained by higher dispersion of platinum particles of the catalysts.
