Abstract

The effect that calcination of an alumina–chromia catalyst containing 13 wt % Cr with additions of Na+ and Zr4+ in an air–water vapor atmosphere (from 0 to 80 vol % water vapor) at 750°С and a pressure of 1 bar exerts on the physicochemical properties of the catalyst and its activity in n-butane dehydrogenation was studied. The steam treatment leads to a slight decrease in the specific surface area (by up to 10%), partial decomposition of Cr(VI) compounds (up to 60%), and Cr2O3 crystallization. The catalytic activity decreases with an increase in the water vapor : air ratio. Low water vapor concentration (10 vol %) favors a significant decrease in the amount of the coke formed (by 60%) without significantly affecting the yield of alkenes. Thus, introduction of water vapor into the calcination atmosphere allows control of the Cr(VI) amount and catalyst selectivity.
