A process for selectively oxidizing an organic molecule by reacting said organic molecule and oxygen in the presence of a selective oxidation catalyst supported on a mesh-like structure.

Selective oxidation process and catalyst therefor

Catalytic dehydrogenation wherein feed is passed in one direction through the bed in a first cycle and heating gas is passed in an opposite direction in a second cycle to provide the endothermic heat of reaction and regenerate catalyst. The operation is controlled to balance properly heat absorbed during dehydrogenation and heat input during regeneration; e.g., by having catalyst of different activities over the length of the bed.
