The invention relates to a method for preparing olefin from low-carbon
alkane, which is characterized in that the low-carbon
alkane is contacted with a catalyst comprising an
alumina carrier and an
active component to carry out
dehydrogenation reaction, the preparation method comprises the following steps: adding an acid solution into a turbid liquid of at least two kinds of
hydrated alumina, of which the acid peptizing index DI of at least one kind of
hydrated alumina is 50-85%, for peptizing to obtain
alumina sol, then dropwise adding the
alumina sol into an oil
ammonia column through a water dropper, balling,
drying and
roasting to obtain the catalyst, the particle size of the catalyst is 1.6-2.5 mm, the specific surface area is 80-150m < 2 > / g, the pore volume is 0.40-0.75 mL / g, and the pore volume is 0.20-0.75 mL / g. The crushing strength is more than 50N / grain, the
bulk density is 0.55-0.80 g / mL, the length-
diameter ratio b / l value is more than 0.95, and the
sulfur content is 0.05-0.50%. The method is high in
alkane conversion rate and olefin selectivity, and the catalyst is high in
carbon deposition resistance.
