Abstract
The catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of at least one dehydrogenatable organic compound which has at least one ##STR1## grouping is carried out in the presence of a zinc titanate catalyst. The selectivity of the zinc titanate catalyst may be improved by a promoter at least one member of which is selected from the group consisting of chromium, antimony, bismuth, aluminum, phosphorus, indium, tin, lanthanum and cerium.
Claims6
A catalyst composition comprising zinc, titanium and a promoter at least one member of which is selected from the group consisting of aluminum, phosphorus, indium, and tin wherein said zinc and titanium are present in said catalyst composition in the form of zinc titanate which is prepared by calcining a mixture of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in the presence of free oxygen at a temperature in the range of about 650.degree. C. to about 1050.degree. C.
