Abstract:
The conversion of cyclohexane dehydrogenation over Pt–Dy/Al2O3 has been studied with a pulsed microcatalytic reactor. Two interesting experiments utilizing CS2 and thiophene poisoning Pt/Al2O3 and Pt–Dy/Al2O3 for cyclohexane dehydrogenation are shown and the reaction mechanism is described. The kinetic parameters of cyclohexane dehydrogenation have been calculated. Correlation of the catalytic behavior with the properties of active sites is also discussed.
