linear aliphatic hydrocarbons to the
corresponding olens by catalytic dehydrogenation. Used mainly for the production of linear intermediates for
detergents. Used also, in combination with *Olex, for making monoolens. The catalyst is a platinum metal
on an alumina support; several generations of the catalyst have been developed, the latest is known as DeH-7.
Developed by UOP in the 1960s and rst commercialized in 1968. By 2005, 29 plants had been built. See also
