Modeling the Selectivity of Hydrotalcite-Based Catalyst in the Propane Dehydrogenation Reaction.

ABSTRACT: The propylene production processes currently used in the petrochemical industry (fluid catalytic cracking and steam cracking of naphtha and light diesel) are unable to meet the increase of propylene demand for industrial applications. For this reason, alternative processes for propylene production have been investigated, and among the others, the propane dehydrogenation (PDH) process, allowing the production of propylene as a main product, has been industrially implemented (e.g., Catofin and Oleflex processes). The main drawback of such processes is closely linked to the high temperature required to reach a sustainable propane conversion that affects catalyst stability due to coke formation on the catalyst surface. Accordingly, the periodic regeneration of the catalytic bed is required. In
