Technetium as a catalyst of dehydrogenation of alcohols and hydrocarbons

Catalytic activity of technetium, supported on different substrates in the reactions of dehydrogenation of aliphatic alcohol (isopropanol), cyclohexane and its derivatives is investigated. The catalysts, prepared by technetium introduction in aluminium ν-oxide and the oxides of rare earths (Y2O3) are most active. It is supposed about the technetium state on the substrate surface. The formation of the technetium ionic form side by side with metal technetium is established
