Alumina-platinum catalysts (APC) containing additives are used to obtain the higher linear monoolefins by catalytic dehydrogenation. Previously it was shown that Li raises the selectivity but lowers the total activity of APC, while In raises both factors. Re has also been added to dehydrogenation APC. The purpose of the present paper is to compare the stability of APC contaning Li, Re, and In with one other, and also to compare the stability with the initial activity of the promoted catalysts. For the example of n-dodecane it was shown that in the dehydrogenation of the higher n-paraffins the stability of catalysts containing Li, Re, and In as additives increases in the order: Li > Re > In. The stability of the studied catalysts increases in a similar manner, while the selectivity in coke is the opposite of their activity.
