Patent ·
OSTI ID:6322635
This patent describes a hydrocarbon dehydrogenation process comprising contacting a hydrocarbon charge stock with a catalytic composite comprising a Group VIII metal, a co-formed Group IV A metal component, an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal component and an alumina support having a surface area of from 5 to 150 m/sup 2//g wherein less than about 18% of the total pore volume of the support is associated with pores having mean diameters of about 300 Angstroms or less and more than about 55% of the total pore volume of the support is associated with pores having mean diameters of about 600 Angstroms or more at conditions effective for the dehydrogenation of the hydrocarbon charge stock.
