Popis: Catalytic performance of VO x /MCM-41 possessing highly dispersed VO x species in non-oxidative propane dehydrogenation (DH) was compared with that of industrially relevant CrO x /MCM-41 and Pt–Sn/Al 2 O 3 over four DH (24 h on-stream) and oxidative regeneration cycles. The effect of reduction with H 2 on the catalysts DH properties was also investigated. VO x /MCM-41 in both oxidized and reduced form showed superior time on-stream stability in all DH cycles and its activity could be fully recovered by oxidative regeneration. In situ time-resolved UV/Vis spectroscopy and temperature-programmed oxidation of the used catalysts enabled us to elucidate the origins of the catalysts deactivation. In a single DH cycle, the formation of carbon deposits is the main reason for the deactivation. Activity loss of CrO x /MCM-41 and Pt–Sn/Al 2 O 3 from cycle to cycle was caused by structural changes in the catalytically active metal/metal oxide species. In contrast to these two catalysts, the structure of active VO x species on MCM-41 was not changed during the DH/regeneration cycles, which is the reason for stable performance of the latter catalyst.
