Abstract
Silver/transition metal catalysts are made by calcining the polysilver salt of a polycarboxylic acid and at least one transition metal salt of an organic polycarboxylic acid at temperatures from 200-500.degree. C., and oxidizing the said calcined salts with oxygen at temperatures from 20-500.degree. C.
Claims3
A process for dehydrogenating ethylbenzene wherein said ethylbenzene is dehydrogenated at a temperature within the range from about 220.degree. to 300.degree. C in the presence of an oxygen-containing gas and a silver/transition metal catalyst, the transition metal being selected from the group consisting of nickel and cobalt.
