Abstract
Hydrocarbon feedstocks are dehydrogenated to compounds having the same number of carbon atoms and a higher degree of unsaturation by contacting the feedstock in the vapor phase in the presence of molecular oxygen with a catalyst consisting essentially of nickel, lead, phosphorus and combined oxygen, and optionally, an alkali metal. Representative of such conversions is the oxidative dehydrogenation of butane to butenes and butadiene.
