Abstract: A method for dehydrogenation of one or more hydrocarbons and regeneration and reactivation of a catalyst composition includes contacting a first gaseous stream comprising a first hydrocarbon, such as propane, with a catalyst composition in a dehydrogenation reactor at a first temperature, thereby producing a first dehydrogenated hydrocarbon, such as propylene, and a deactivated catalyst composition; combusting at least one fuel gas and coke on the deactivated catalyst in the presence of oxygen at a second temperature, thereby producing a heated catalyst composition; and reactivating the catalyst in the presence of oxygen. The second temperature is from 50° C. to 200° C. greater than the first temperature. The catalyst composition is also described and comprises gallium, platinum and a further noble metal, such as palladium.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a catalyst system useful for dehydrogenation includes from 98 vol. % to 99.95 vol. % of a catalyst and from 0.05 vol. % to 2 vol. % of a combustion additive. The catalyst may include from 1 ppmw to 150 ppmw platinum, gallium, and a support material. The combustion additive may include from 150 ppmw to 1,000 ppmw platinum, gallium, and a support material. The combustion additive may include at least 1.1 times greater platinum than the catalyst.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for producing olefins includes contacting a hydrocarbon-containing feed with a catalyst in a reactor portion of a reactor system to form an olefin-containing effluent, separating at least a portion of the olefin-containing effluent from the catalyst, passing the catalyst to a catalyst-processing portion of the reactor system and processing the catalyst to produce a processed catalyst and a combustion gas, passing the processed catalyst from the catalyst-processing portion to the reactor portion, and introducing a combustion additive to the reactor system when the combustion gas comprises one or more hydrocarbons in an amount greater than 5% of an LFL of the combustion gas at a temperature and pressure of the catalyst processing portion. The catalyst may include from 1 ppmw to 150 ppmw platinum. The combustion additive may include from 150 ppmw to 1,000 ppmw platinum.
