Abstract
The kinetics and mechanism of isobutane dehydrogenation on platinum and platinum-indium catalysts have been investigated. The kinetic isotopic effects have been measured during exchange of hydrogen by deuterium in reactions for isobutane dehydrogenation and isobutylene hydrogenation, and the isotopic distribution has been studied for exchange of isobutane and isobutylene with deuterium. A kinetic equation has been proposed for isobutane dehydrogenation, describing the experimental data over wide ranges of reagent concentration and degree of conversion. A stagewise scheme for the reaction mechanism has been substantiated, from which a kinetic equation results which is in accordance with experimental data.
