    Cyclohexane Dehydrogenation

    This document discusses the results of experiments testing different nickel, platinum, and nickel-platinum catalysts for cyclohexane dehydrogenation. It found that a 20% nickel and 0.5% platinum bimetallic catalyst achieved the highest conversion of cyclohexane (31.1%) and highest hydrogen production rate (1.30 mmol min-1). X-ray diffraction analysis showed the nickel catalysts had stable fcc nickel structures without impurities. Dispersion and turnover frequency were also highest for the 20% nickel - 0.5% platinum catalyst.
