The effect of zinc on the performance of hematite-based catalysts in ethylbenzene dehydrogenation was studied. Zinc acts as a structural promoter stabilizing the active phase of the catalysts.

Activated carbons have found several applications as catalysts and as catalytic supports. They can be useful in the ethylbenzene dehydrogenation to produce styrene, a high value chemical. In order to produce alternative ...

The ethylbenzene dehydrogenation in the presence of steam is the dominant technology for styrene production, one of the most important high value chemicals. The most widely used industrial catalyst comprises potassium-promoted ...
