Based on the time on stream dependence of product distribution during deact
ivation and on additional investigations of fresh and deactivated samples b
y the homomolecular H-D exchange of molecular hydrogen, it is concluded, th
at the deactivation during n-octane dehydrocyclisation on CrOx/La2O3/ZrO2 c
atalysts is caused by a decreasing dehydrogenation capability of the active
surface and not by increasing mass transport resistance.
