Abstract
A catalyst system for propane dehydrogenation includes a hollow fiber members packed with a Pt1Sn1/SiO2 catalyst. The hollow fiber membrane includes a separation layer coated on an interior surface of a support tube. The separation layer selectively removes H2 generated during the propane dehydrogenation reaction.
Claims20
A catalyst system for a dehydrogenation reaction, comprising:
- a hollow fiber membrane comprising an outer support tube formed of a porous support material and a separation layer formed on an inner surface of the support tube such that the separation layer covers the inner surface of the support tube, the separation layer comprising SiO2;
- and
- a dehydrogenation catalyst packed inside the hollow fiber membrane, the dehydrogenation catalyst comprising Pt1Sn1 arranged on a SiO2 support, wherein a ratio of a surface area to the volume of the catalyst system is about 500 m2/m3 to about 3000 m2/m3 and an amount of catalysts exposed on the membrane surface of about 300 g/m2 to about 1500 g/m2.
