Study on Dehydrogenation from Propane to Propylene

The development of preparing propene by propane dehydrogenation is outlined,and catalytic dehydrogenation,oxidative dehydrogenation and dehydrogenation in the membrane reactor is summarized and analyzed.Although,catalytic dehydrogenation of propane has been commercialized,the performance of catalysts needs to be further improved.The catalytic systems and their main results of propane oxidative dehydrogenation to propylene are viewed.Compared with the traditional dehydrogenation,the membrane reactor has its advantages in propane dehydrogenation.If the activity and stability ofcatalysts for propane dehydrogenation and the hydrogen perm-selectivity of the membrane reactor can be further improved,the membrane reactor is a promising method for the dehydrogenation of propane.
