The present application discloses a supported PtZn intermetallic alloy catalyst, a method for preparing the same and application thereof. The catalyst uses SiO2 as a support and Zn as a promoter, and a small amount of active component Pt is supported; the weight percentage of Pt is 0.025%-1%, and the weight percentage of Zn is 0.025%-1.7%, a co-impregnation method is adopted in preparation, the SiO2 support is impregnated in aqueous solution of chloroplatinic acid and zinc nitrate, and then drying and high-temperature reduction are performed to obtain a PtZn/SiO2 catalyst. The catalyst has the advantages of high activity, high stability, low price and low toxicity. The catalyst provided by the present application is applicable to preparation of alkene through short-chain alkane dehydrogenation, in particular to preparation of propylene through propane dehydrogenation in a hydrogen atmosphere. Under high-temperature conditions, the dehydrogenation activity is very high, the propylene selectivity can reach more than 90%, the stability is good, and the amount of used Pt is small, the utilization rate is high, and it is cheaper than industrial Pt series catalysts.
A process for the dehydrogenation of an alkane to prepare an alkene, comprising reacting the alkane in the presence of a supported PtZn intermetallic alloy catalyst to produce the alkene, wherein the alkane comprises ethane, propane, and/or butane;
