Abstract
A process and catalyst are provided for dehydrogenating a hydrocarbon feedstock and producing an olefinic product. The process comprises contacting the feedstock at dehydrogenation conditions with a dehydrogenation catalyst comprising from about 0.01 weight percent to about 5.0 weight percent of a platinum group metal, from about 0.02 weight percent to about 10.0 weight percent of zinc, and a support component comprising borosilicate and an alkali metal.
Claims9
A composition of matter useful for dehydrogenating a hydrocarbon feedstock and producing an olefinic product, the composition of matter comprising:
- about 0.01 to about 5.0 percent of a platinum group metal, about 0.02 weight percent to about 10.0 weight percent of zinc, an alkali metal and a borosilicate molecular sieve;
- the molecular sieve having been prepared directly in the hydrogen form containing less than about 100 ppm sodium or converted to the hydrogen form containing less than about 100 ppm sodium, thereafter impregnated with the platinum group metal, impregnated with zinc, and subsequently impregnated with the alkali metal.
A composition of matter for dehydrogenating a hydrocarbon feedstock and producing an olefinic product, the composition of matter comprising:
- about 0.01 to about 5.0 percent of a platinum group metal, about 0.02 weight percent to about 10.0 weight percent of zinc, about 0.1 to about 10.0 weight percent of an alkali metal and a borosilicate molecular sieve;
- the molecular sieve having been prepared directly in the hydrogen form containing less than about 100 ppm sodium or converted to the hydrogen form containing less than about 100 ppm sodium, thereafter impregnated with the platinum group metal and impregnated with zinc, and subsequently impregnated to place the dehydrogenation catalyst alkali metal content within the above stated range of about 0.1 to about 10.0 weight percent.
