In dehydrogenation

HP Alkylation Process. The most widely used technology today is based on the HE catalyst system. AH industrial units built in the free world since 1970 employ this process (78). During the mid-1960s, commercial processes were developed to selectively dehydrogenate linear paraffins to linear internal olefins (79—81). Although these linear internal olefins are of lower purity than are a olefins, they are more cost-effective because they cost less to produce. Furthermore, with improvement over the years in dehydrogenation catalysts and processes, such as selective hydrogenation of diolefins to monoolefins (82,83), the quaUty of linear internal olefins has improved. 

Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD) (C27 H33 N9 O15P2) is a coenzyme that acts as a hydrogen acceptor in dehydrogenation reactions in an oxidized or reduced form. FAD is one of the primary cofactors in biological redox reactions.

The TEM images of deposits observed on Catalyst I used for the steam reforming of naphthalene are shown in Fig. 5. Two types of deposits were observed and they were proved to be composed of mainly carbon by EDS elemental analysis. One of them is film-like deposit over catalysts as shown in Fig. 5(a). This type of coke seems to consist of a polymer of C H, radicals. The other is pyrolytic carbon, which gives image of graphite-like layer as shown in Fig. 5(b). Pyrolytic carbon seems to be produced in dehydrogenation of naphthalene. TPO profile is shown in Fig. 6. The peaks around 600 K and 1000 K are attributable to the oxidation of film-like carbon and pyrolytic carbon, respectively [11-13]. These results coincide with TEM observations. 

A novel basic support and catalyst have been prepared by activation of aluminium phosphate with ammonia. Fine control of time and temperature allows to adjust the 0/N ratio of these oxynitride solids and thus to tune the acid-base properties. The aluminophosphate oxynitrides are active in Knoevenagel condensation, but a basicity range can not yet determined. Supporting Pt or Pt/Sn on AlPONs allows to prepare catalysts that are highly active and selective in dehydrogenation reactions. 

A curious mechanistic phenomenon found in hydrogenation is also found in dehydrogenation. Once again, we see an example of a reaction occurring on both sides of a six-membered ring. A clear example of trams dehydrogenation occurs during the Pd-catalyzed aromatization of the compound in Scheme 5.6.48 See Section 2.1.3.2. for a discussion of trans addition. 

Kinetic analysis with a Langmuir-type rate equation (Equation 13.4) [37] gave us the magnitudes of reaction rate constant (k) and retardation constant due to product naphthalene (K) for the superheated liquid film (0.30 g/1.0 mL) and the suspended states (0.30 g/3.0 mL) with the same Pt/C catalyst as summarized in Table 13.2. It is apparent that excellent performance with carbon-supported platinum nanoparticles in the superheated liquid-film state is realized in dehydrogenation catalysis on the basis of reaction rate and retardation constants.

Typical values of the conversion and selectivities in dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene at 90 min of reaction time are shown in Table I. 

Propane s greatest use is not as a fuel but in the petrochemical industry as a feedstock. As an alkane, it undergoes typical alkane reactions of combustion, halogenation, pyrolysis, and oxidation. Pyrolysis or cracking of propane at several hundred degrees Celsius and elevated pressure in combination with metal catalysts result in dehydrogenation. Dehydrogenation is a primary source of ethylene and propylene ... 

Rb+- and Cs+-impregnated X zeolites were found to exhibit the highest activity and selectivity in these transformations. A CsX zeolite treated with boric acid, for example, gave better than 50% overall selectivity in the formation of styrene and ethylbenzene (410°C, 60% conversion).275 Treatment of these catalysts with copper or silver nitrate resulted in further improvements in catalyst performance.276 The promoting role of these metals was suggested to be their involvement in dehydrogenation of methyl alcohol.
