I. Takahara et al., PROMOTING EFFECTS OF CO2 ON DEHYDROGENATION OF PROPANE OVER A SIO2-SUPPORTED CR2O3 CATALYST, Catalysis today, 45(1-4), 1998, pp. 55-59
The effects of carbon dioxide on the dehydrogenation of C3H8 to produc
e C3H6 were investigated over several Cr2O3 catalysts supported on Al2
O3, active carbon and SiO2. Carbon dioxide exerted promoting effects o
nly on SiO2-supported Cr2O3 catalysts. The promoting effects of carbon
dioxide over a Cr2O3/SiO2 catalyst were to enhance the yield of C3H6
and to suppress the catalyst deactivation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B
