A group of Japanese scientists has developed an ultrastable, selective catalyst to dehydrogenate propane – an essential process to produce the key petrochemical substance of propylene – without deactivation, even at temperatures of more than 600°C. Propylene is an important raw material for plastics, synthetic rubber, surfactants, dyes and pharmaceuticals. In recent years, there has … Continue reading Ultrastable, selective catalyst for propane dehydrogenation developed
