Abstract
The dehydrogenation of an alkane to an alkene, especially isobutane to isobutene, is carried out in admixture with oxygen and in the absence of added steam over a dehydrogenation and oxidation catalyst comprising a platinum group metal deposited upon a support. A catalyst comprising platinum deposited on a support which is a mixture of tin oxide and zirconium oxide possesses good activity for the dehydrogenation of an alkane, especially carried out in this way.
