Selective propane dehydrogenation is one of the commercialised technology for the production of propylene. The main drawback of such process is closely linked to the high temperature required to reach a sustainable propane conversion that affects catalyst stability owing to coke formation on the catalyst surface. Accordingly, a periodic regeneration of catalytic bed is required. The simultaneous actions of performing the reaction in the presence of Pd-based membrane and optimization of employed catalyst could lead to a substantial reduction in the operating reaction temperature, decreasing the extent of reactions responsible for coke formation.

To this aim a comprehensive study of catalytic behaviour is essential and accordingly a dedicated experimental program is reported for propane dehydrogenation on a Pt-based catalyst, by focusing the attention on the operating conditions compatible with membrane integration. Both activity and stability of the catalyst system was evaluated in the investigated conditions, in addition mathematical models were optimized to effectively describe the system behaviour and the catalyst deactivation.

选择性丙烷脱氢是用于生产丙烯的商业化技术之一。这种方法的主要缺点与达到可持续的丙烷转化所需的高温密切相关，该丙烷转化由于由于在催化剂表面上形成焦炭而影响催化剂的稳定性。因此，需要定期再生催化床。在基于Pd的膜存在下进行反应和优化所用催化剂的同时动作，可能会导致操作反应温度显着降低，从而降低造成焦炭形成的反应程度。

为此，对催化行为的全面研究至关重要，因此，通过将注意力集中在与膜整合相适应的操作条件上，据报道有专门的实验程序可用于在Pt基催化剂上进行丙烷脱氢。在研究条件下评估了催化剂体系的活性和稳定性，此外还优化了数学模型以有效描述系统行为和催化剂失活。
