The activity and selectivity of mono- and bimetallic sibunite-supported Re-
, Cu-, Ni-, and Pd-containing catalysts in dehydrogenation of isopropyl alc
ohol to acetone (T = 200-275 degrees C, v = 1.1 h(-1)) were studied. The bi
metallic Re,Cu-, Re,Ni-, and Re,Pd-catalysts containing 1 or 2% of the meta
l possess the higher activity and stability than monometallic catalysts.
