The major problem plaguing propane dehydrogenation process is the coke formation on the Pt-Sn/Al2O3 cat-alyst which leads to catalyst deactivation. Due to information paucity, the physicochemical characteristics of the commercially obtained regenerated Pt-Sn/Al2O3 catalyst (operated in moving bed re...
