The invention discloses a
metal self-dispersed low-carbon
alkane dehydrogenation catalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The catalyst is composed of a
molecular sieve carrier,
metal particles of main
active components Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, Pt and Au, auxiliary components Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, In, Ge, Sn, Mn, Zr, V, Cr, Ti, Nb, Mo, Y, W, Pb, Sc, Bi, Sb, La and Ce, and
alkali metal components Na, Mg, K, Ca and Cs. Firstly, the synthesized
molecular sieve is subjected to high-temperature activation heat treatment, so that rich defect sites are generated; and mixing the activated
molecular sieve with
metal particles, and finally carrying out high-
temperature treatment on the mixture in an
oxygen atmosphere to prepare the stable molecular
sieve loaded metal cluster. The obtained catalyst shows excellent catalytic activity and regeneration performance. The active metal particles are used as raw materials, the step of converting
metal particle powder into salt is reduced, a physical mixing method is adopted, the preparation process of the catalyst is simpler, and the economic cost is lower.
