Abstract

Ce-modified alumina carriers with different Ce content were prepared by vacuum isovolume impregnation method aiming to improve the n-dodecane catalytic dehydrogenation performance of PtSn/Al2O3 catalyst. The support and catalyst were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, NH3-TPD, H2-TPR, CO-pulse adsorption and TG-DTG. Results showed that Ce addition decreased the surface acid amount significantly and inhibited the reduction of SnO x species. Besides, Ce containing catalyst showed higher n-dodecane dehydrogenation activity and stability and lower coke deposition amount and coke burning temperature. In our study, the optimal Ce addition amount for n-dodecane dehydrogenation was 2%.
