Abstract: | Temperature programmed oxidation of coke deposited on Pt based propane dehydrogenation catalysts reveals that the deposited
coke can be categorised into three groups according to their burning temperatures. When coke was separated from the catalyst,
however, only one TPO peak could be observed. Experimental results suggest that γ-Al2O3 enhances the coke burning process by increasing coke surface area contacts to oxygen. Pt may also act as a catalyst for the
coke combustion reaction. Experiments also show that changing dehydrogenation reaction temperature, variation of H2/HC ratios, addition of only Sn or Sn and an alkali metal (Li, Na and K) can significantly affect the amount of each coke
formed. Sample weight used in the temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) experiment also affects the resolution of TPO spectrum. |
