Abstract
Dehydrogenatable hydrocarbons are dehydrogenated by contacting them at dehydrogenation conditions with a nonacidic catalytic composite comprising a combination of catalytically effective amounts of a platinum or palladium component, a ruthenium component, a Group IVA metallic component and an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal component with a porous carrier material. A specific example of the nonacidic multimetallic catalytic composite disclosed herein is a combination of a platinum component, a ruthenium component, a germanium component and an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal component with an alumina carrier material. The amounts of the catalytically active components contained in this last composite are, on an elemental basis, 0.01 to 2 wt. % platinum, 0.01 to 2 wt. % ruthenium, 0.01 to 5 wt. % germanium and 0.1 to 5 wt. % of the alkali or alkaline earth metal.
