Abstract
The process for activating a catalytic composition for paraffin dehydrogenation containing gallium, alumina, possibly silica and/or one or more alkaline or alkaline-earth metals, comprises thermal activation in air followed by post-activation effected by the following stages: PA1 oxidation with air and/or oxygen or a mixture containing oxygen and inert gas; PA1 purging with inert gas; PA1 reduction with hydrogen or a mixture of hydrogen and an inert or reducing gas. The catalytic composition activated by said process contains gallium, alumina, silica and possibly one or more alkaline or alkaline-earth metals, the alumina being in .delta. or .theta. phase or in .delta.+.theta. or .delta.+.theta.+.alpha. phase mixture.
