Abstract
A catalyst for hydrogenation reaction processes includes an oxide substrate surface, a MOx promoter, where M is a transition metal or main group elemental oxide, the promoter being deposited on the substrate, and a platinum group catalytic metal.
Claims7
A method of forming a mixture of 1-butene and 2-butenes comprising:
- exposing a C4 feedstock contaminant to a catalyst comprising M′/M/ExOy where the catalyst metal M′ is a Pt metal, the promotor M is a material selected from the group consisting of B, Zn, and Sn wherein the promotor has a structure selected from the group consisting of monolayer, single metal sites, or extended structures and ExOy is a substrate where E is Si, Al, Ti, or Zr and x and y represent stoichiometric amounts;
- and
- forming the mixture of 1-butene and 2-butenes.
