Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for preparing propene from propane, comprising the steps: A) a feed gas stream a comprising propane is provided; B) the feed gas stream a comprising propane, if appropriate steam and if appropriate and an oxygenous gas stream are fed into a dehydrogenation zone and propane is subjected to a dehydrogenation to propene to obtain a product gas stream b comprising propane, propene, methane, ethane, ethene, hydrogen, if appropriate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, steam and oxygen; C) the product gas stream b is cooled, if appropriate compressed and steam is removed by condensation to obtain a steam-depleted product gas stream c; D) the product gas stream c is contacted with a selective adsorbent which adsorbs propene selectively under the selected adsorption conditions to obtain a propene-laden adsorbent and a propene-depleted gas stream d2 comprising propane, methane, ethane, ethene and hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide; E) a propene-comprising gas stream e1
