Lee, F M

A process is described comprising the step of contacting a hydrocarbon containing feed stream consisting essentially of at least one hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of alkanes containing from 2 to 20 carbon atoms per molecule and cyclo-alkanes containing from 5 to 20 carbon atoms per molecule with a catalyst composition consisting essentially of (a) divanadium pentoxide and (b) silica, under such reaction conditions as to convert at least a portion of the hydrocarbon feed to a reaction product comprising hydrogen gas and at least one hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of alkenes containing from 2 to 20 carbon atoms, alkadiene containing from 4 to 20 carbon atoms, cycloalkenes containing from 5 to 20 carbon atoms, cycloalkadienes containing from 5 to 20 carbon atoms and aromatic hydrocarbons containing from 6 to 20 carbon atoms per molecule.
