Abstract
We have supported platinum on a commercial activated carbon with different loadings. The as-prepared catalyst has been used for the dehydrogenation of decalin in a batch-type reactor under boiling and refluxing conditions. The impact of some variables such as temperature, % Pt loading and decalin/catalyst ratio was studied using experimental design tools. The experiments carried out enable us to find the decalin to catalyst ratio which led to the best catalytic performance in our system.
