1. A regenerable catalyst useful in the dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons, said catalyst comprising a primary catalytic component that comprises one or more elements selected from the group consisting of:

  • platinum, rhodium, iridium, palladium, ruthenium, and osmium deposited on a solid support comprising porous alumina, wherein said regenerable catalyst has a surface area greater than 100 m2/g, a volume of pores with diameters below 60 Angstrom units that is less than 0.05 cm3/g, a volume of pores with diameters in the range of 60-350 Angstrom units that is greater than 0.50 cm3/g, and wherein the volume of pores with diameters in the range of 60-350 Angstrom units is greater than about 70% of the total contained pore volume.
