Abstract:
1. A process for the dehydrogenation of at least one dehydrogenatable compound selected from a ketone and a hydrocarbon consisting of hydrogen and carbon, the process comprising contacting a feed comprising the at least one dehydrogenatable compound with a catalyst comprising an inorganic oxide support, a first component comprising at least one metal component selected from Group 1 and Group 2 of the Periodic Table of Elements, and a second component comprising at least one metal component selected from Groups 6 to 10 of the Periodic Table of Elements under dehydrogenation conditions effective to convert at least part of the at least one dehydrogenatable compound in the feed, wherein the catalyst is produced by a method comprising: (a) treating the support with the first component; (b) calcining the treated support at a temperature of about 100° C. to about 700° C.; (c) impregnating the support with the second component; and (d) calcining the impregnated support at a temperature of about 100° C. to about 700° C., wherein the impregnating (c) is effected after or at the same time as the treating (a).
