Catalyst comprising a metalic support and process for the production of olefins

Abstract

A catalyst capable of supporting combustion beyond the fuel rich limit of flammability comprising a catalytic component and a metallic support wherein the support is a metallic structured packing comprising a multiplicity of open-ended channels and which has been loaded with a non metallic coating, and a process for the production of an olefin, said process comprising passing a mixture of a hydrocarbon and an oxygen-containing gas over said catalyst to produce an olefin.
