Characterization of industrial Pt-Sn/Al2 O3 catalyst and transient product formations during propane dehydrogenation

The major problem plaguing propane dehydrogenation process is the coke formation on the Pt-Sn/Al2O3cat-alyst which leads to catalyst deactivation. Due to information paucity, the physicochemical characteristics of the commercially obtained regenerated Pt-Sn/Al2O3catalyst (operated in moving...
