The catalytic dehydration of hydrocarbons, particularly of short-chain hydrocarbons with 2 to 6 carbon atoms, is carried out in accordance with the standard method by means of adiabeticly feeding the hydrocarbons, which are pure or diluted with inert gas, through fixed bed reactors, which can be parallel-connected in groups.
Dehydration catalysers generally consist of aluminium oxide and additives such as for example chromic oxide or other metallic oxides or their mixtures (comp. DE- 36 14 2Q 854, DE 36 20 481, US 2,934,067 and US 2,419,997).
The preparation of this type of metallic oxides is carried out according to the standard method by means of evaporating the metallic nitrite solutions or by means of precipitating them, a ul ";SUBSTITUTE

For about 8 years various working groups have been involved in the analysis of ceramic powders which are prepared by means of a modern method; suitable gaseous parent compounds react under CO2 laser treatment with powdered solids.
The constituted powders have the following propertiessmall particle diameter, regular form, narrow distribution of particle sizes, high degree of purity, low degree of agglomeration and high surface activity (comp. Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Vol. 65, No. 7, 324 ff.).
In US 4,343,687, among other things, theepreparation of metallic oxide powders is described wherein suitable parent ccxpounds are treated with a pulsed IR-laser at a frequency which is not absorbed by the reaction mixture.
The thereby obtained products are to be suitable for catalytic purposes. According to this method a Cr 2 0 3 powder, for example, is prepared in a closed static cell on a support by means of a laser-induced reaction between chromyl chloride (Cr0 2 C12) as oxidizing agent and hydrogen as reactant, under reduced pressure by means of a chain reaction, generated by at least one laser impulse of 2 Joule/cm 2 STITUTEIP|GEi l-U SUBSTITUTE PACE ii AIT L

Another object consists in increasing the transformation and selectivity in the preparation of mono-olefines in the catalytic dehydration of saturated hydrocarbons by means of the above mentioned compounds or their mixtures.
This tasks have been so.ved with the metallic mixed oxide powders according to the invention or their mixtures according to claim 1 or the metallic oxide powder according to claim 4 or their mixtures and their use as dehydration catalysts.
Qspec t The present invention 'i orne concerns metallic mixed oxide powders from' chromic(III) oxide and titanium(IV) oxide, chromic(III) oxide and vanadium(V) pentoxide, titanium('IV) oxide and vandium(V) pentoxide or their no+ ony mixtures. These new metallic mixed oxide powders differAfrom the basic mixtures of commercially available single oxides, but also from the mixtures of the metallic oxide powders, another aspec o-F which are included inAthe invention,too, namely chromic(I'II) oxide, titanium(IV) oxide, vanadium(V) pentoxide powders with a BET-surface of between 5 and m'/g and average particle d.iameters of between 25 and 350 nm.
SUBSTITUTE PAGE 4 ro« L^*si7 i., _II i_ The new metallic mixed oxide powders are prepared from mixtures of the evaporated metallic compounds, namely chromyl chloride and titanium tetrachloride, chromyl chloride and vanadyl chloride or titanium tetrachloride and vanadyl chloride (claim 1) and the new metallic oxide powders, namely chromic(III) oxide, titaniua(IV) oxide, vanadium(V) pentoxide powders,are prepared from each of the above mentioned separately evaporated volatile metallic compounds (claim 4).
The preparation of the metallic mixed oxide powders or metallic oxide powders from the above mentioned evaporated volatile metallic compounds is carried out in the presence of an inert gas, hydro en, nitrogen, .sulphur hexafluoride, oxygen or a mixture thereof by means of continuous laser pyrolysis at a pressure of 10 to 1000 mbar.
The invention is further concerned with the use of the above mentioned metallic mixed oxide powders or their mixtures as well as the use of a compound or a mixture of compounds selected_from.the group consisting of.-chromic (III) oxide, titanium(IV) oxide and vanadium(V) pentoxide powders for the catalytic dehydration of branched or straight chained, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons with 2 to 6 carbon atoms or mixtures thereof, at a temperature of between 300 and 700 OC' and a pressure of 0.1 to 20 bar.

It is also preferable to apply the metallic mixed oxide powders, prescribed in the invention, or their mixtures in the presence of up to 90 weight per cent aluminium hydroxide powder in the form of formed bodies, prepared by means of a bonding for the catalytic dehydration of the listed hydrocarbons.
esl 0 The apparatus(depicted in Fig.l) used for the decomposition of the,gaseous parent compounds and the precipitation of the obtained solid products such as titanium(IV) oxide (TiO2), vanadium(V) pentoxide (V 2 0 5 as well as chromic(III) oxide (Cr 2 0 3 or metallic mixed oxide powders, consists of glass.

C02/ The applied permanent line laser shows a performance of 15 and generates 75 to 86 watt on the line at 984 cm 1 -l about 100 watt on the line at 945 cm and about 75 watt -1 on the line at 1042 cm At an overall performance of watt witho'ut focussing,the power density is about 3 2 4 2 3 x 10 watt/cm and with focussing about 3 x 10 watt/cm 2 'I .E (jjl SUBSTITUTE PAGE L i 'IIIII~L--~P~a-~ The gaseous educts pass from a slit-sha.ped or a perforated nozzle vertical to the laser beam.
Before the reaction the parent compounds in the reserve flask are cooled with dry ice/methanol to prevent premature evaporation. During the reaction the reserve flask has to be heated up slightly. The supply pipe to the -nozzle is heated up with a heating wire to prevent the condensation of the parent compound.
Without focussing the laser beam has a diameter of about 2 mm, with focussing a diameter of 0.5 to 0.7 mm.
A gas flow, consisting of an inert gas, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur hexafluoride or oxygen or a mixture of the above mentioned gases, is passed around the nozzle to maintain a laminar flow of the educts and products or to influence the reaction. At the NaCl-windows each additional gas is passed through leads and (10) to prevent the windows from collecting dirt from powders developing during the laser pyrolysis. According to the standard method, the total pressure is held at 50 mbar by means of regulating the rate of pumping and is checked on the pressure gauge (11).
At a total pressure in the range of between 10 and 1000 mbar a reaction can be obtained.
SUBSTITUTE PAGE TO^ The powder is collected on a membrane filter or in a fibre filter Condensable gases and un'transformed educt are frozen outin cooling ducts (13) fitted downstealm, and later rejected or used again after being recycled.
The laser beam is focussed with a ZnSe-convex lens with a focal distance of f 30 cm or a NaCl-convex lens with a focal distance of f 20 chi on one point over the nozzle.
In order to increase the output, a multipass cell is used in which the parent compound flo% passes the laser beam vertically several times. To the same end a cell is employed in which the laser beam passes through four places.of entry arranged in cross-shaped fashion,altgetheiour times in a horizontal plane through the same field over the nozzle.
In the following description the invention is further explained and the experiments for the preparation of Cr203, Ti0 2 as well as V 2 0 5 are described.
The breakdown of titanium tetrachloride (TiCI 4 in (he passage of) the argon-oxygenS aKs place in the above -1 described apparatus. TiCI 4 absorbs at 984 cm 1 However, the absorption of TiCI 4 on this line and in the whole emission spectrum of the CO 2 laser is low. A reaction with powder formation and a light pinkish violet flame' is obtained with the application of more heat to the.storage flask.
The recovery amounts to a few percent only.

j o An X-ray diffractometer analysis demonstratedthat.the reaction product consists of both titanium dioxide modifica'tions, rutile and anatase.
TEM recordings show- that the developed particles are on-'an average 25 nm large and have a very narrow size distribution.
The breakdown of vanadyl chloride (VOC1 3 also takes place in the above .described apparatus. The ilradiation -i is carried out on a p-line of the laser at 1042 cm.
VOC1 3 absorbs the CO 2 laser beams better than TiC14, but still absorbs far less than CrO 2 C1 2 In the argon-oxygen str.eInm a continuous reaction with powder development and a fallow flame is possible.
The recovery of yellowish brown V205, however, only amounts to a few per cent.
Diffractometer analyses demonstrate that the developed V205 s X-ray amorphous. Disintegration on other lines is not possible.
Up to now, no continuous reaction iocLbe. obtained in the argon-hydrogen passage. A weak reaction with a small fallow flame supplied only a little black vanadium (III) than/ oxide with a .discovery of 1(ss:- one per cent.
CrO 2 C1 2 which can easily be evaporated, proved to be the most suitable chromium compound for the preparation of Cr203 as a catalyst. With conventional methods SUBSTITUTE PAGE i at temperatures of up to 380 C, the thermal breakdown of CrO 2 C1 leads mainly to the development of chromic (IV) oxide. A rise in temperature to over 400 0 C results in stable chromic (III) oxide and release of oxygen.
The CO2 laser line at 984 cm- is the most suitable one for the decomposition of CrO 2 C1 2 Pyrolysis is also possible on neighbouring lines.
If sulphur hexafluoride (SF is used as carrier gas the radiation for the development of Cr 20 3 can also be carried out on the absorption band of SF6 at 945 -i cm However, CrO 2 C1 2 does not break down under irradiation with CO 2 laser light with a wave number of 945 cm when a carrier gas different to SF is applied.
The CrO 2 Cl vapour absorbs 2 to 8 watt of the applied laser output.
The CrO 2 C1 2 partial pressure is 2 to 10 mbar.
Depending on the experimental conditions, 1.5 to 12 g Cr ?03 can be synthesised per hour.
SUBSTITUTE PAGE i( 1 During the decomposition of Cr0 2 C1 2 with an inert gas, nitrogen, oxygen, or SF, as carrier gas, the flame was orange and, depending on the experimental conditions, had a size of 3 to 20 mm and started 2 to 4 mm above the nozzle.
In experiments with pure hydrogen, the flame only burnt very irregularly, was a bright light yellow shade and started immediately at the opening of the nozzle or already in the nozzle. This made a longer continuous experimental run with the powder product difficult.
By means of diluting hydrogen with argon to a volume ratio of 1 8, a steady operation was possible.
In experiments with hydrogen and argon, it was possible, to transform nearly 100% of the Cr, 2 0; during experiments with argon alone, only 45 to of the nitrogen or oxygen could be transformed. During the experiments with SF, as carrier gas and absorber of the laser beams, only 30% of the CrO,C1 2 was transformed. Helium as carrier gas reduced recovery to about Constant wave laser irradiation of, eg., 100 to 1000 W is absorbed continuously in the gaseous metallic compounds, eg., CrO 2 Cl 2 or in an energy transmission gas, eg., SF 6 thereby producing a chemical reaction to the new oxides or mixed oxides.
Since the chemical reaction is maintained via the laser irradiation, the course of the reaction can be controlled in this manner that finer or coarser powder could be produced at will or more or fewer defects can also be achieved in the crystal lattice of the metallic oxide or metallic oxide mixture.
The analysis of the specific surface of the prepared Cr 2 0 3 powders was carried out in accordance with the BET-method. Commercial Cr, 2 0 has a surface of about 2 to 3 m2/g. All powders synthesised according to the present procedure showed increases in their specific surfaces by a factor of between 5 and SUBSTITUTE PAGE 11 The Cr, 2 0 obtained was characterized by means of Guinier's method of radiographic analysis. The lines of the film strip show the same elementary cell as commercial CrO, with the same measurements at the same line intensity ratio. According to a transmission electron microscopic analysis (TEM), the samples from the experiments with hydrogen and/or argon showed particle sizes significantly below 100 nm. This is also the reason, why broadened and diffuse lines were visible in the Guinier spectrum.
X-ray diffractrometric analysis and X-ray fluorescence analysis proved that the prepared powders consist of very pure Cr 2 0 3 Only the element chlorine was detectable in small quantities of 400 to 1500 ppm. The experiments with SF, as carrier and absorber gas only contained traces of sulphur ppm).
Also, by prepared (see fig.
means of IR-spectroscopy, it could be product, as prescribed in the invention, 2).
demonstrated that the was a very pure Cr 2 0s Scanning electron microscopic experiments (SEM) and transmission electron microscopic analyses (TEM) proved the narrow size distribution of the particles. The average particle sizes of various CrO, powders were between 50 and 350 nm.
OA
SUBSTITUTE PAGE i In comparison, commercial Cr203 was found to have an average particle size of 800 nm.
In ESR-experiments (electron spin resonance)' all synthesised powders, as prescribed in the invention, show different magnetic behaviour compared with commerci.lly available Cr 2 0 3 The mixed oxides, as prescribed in the invention, are prepared according to the following method:- The evaporated parent compounds are X-rayed with a
CO
2 permanent line laser, variable in frequence, while either the parent compound itself or SF 6 as auxiliary gas absorb the laser energy. The transformation lasting/ can be performed in a continuous operation st everal hours.
To this end, the formed. gases are continuously e.vacuatedi and the foaed.- powders are absorbed by filters.
In the experiments for the demonstration of mixed oxides a reserve flask, separated into b o chambers, is used.
Each chamb.er can be heated up separately to give the required partial pressure of each parent compound; and as a result, the mixing ratio of the gases can be freely chosen.
During the reaction, the reserve flask has to be heated up strealm/ slightly. Again, both evaporated compounds e from a shared nozzle through the laser beam.
SUBSTITUTE PAGE I According to this method, for the preparation of a mixed 'oxide from, 3 /Ti02, CrO 2 Cl2 and TiC]I are evaporated at the same time with an inert gas as carrier gas and transformed in the laser beam. The use of other carrier gases such as for example nitrogen, oxygen or hydrogen is also possible. Cr02Cl2 is the oxygen supplier for the development of Ti0 2 Ihe irradiation is carried out on the combined absorption line of Cr0 2
C

Under these conlitions, a continuous reaction with a production of powder and .a flame is possible, which corresponds to the reaction during the decomposition of pure CrO 2 Cl2. No reaction is possible on other lines of the"CO 2 laser.
Lae to the optionally adjustable gas compound, oxides with a broad mixing ratio can be prepared. At a mixing ratio of for example CrO2Cl2 to TiC14 of 3 to 17 a mixed oxide with a total recovery of about is obtained.
