	abstract = "In the present investigation, experimental results from a study of cubic SBA-16-supported Pt-Sn bimetallic catalysts used to investigate dehydrogenation of <I>n</I>-dodecane to 1-dodecene are presented. Pt (1 wt%)-Sn (1 wt%)/SBA-16 catalyst is synthesized using a simple co-impregnation (CI) method. Further, the impregnated catalysts are dried separately using microwave drying (MW-D) and conventional electrical drying (CE-D) techniques. The microwave-mediated drying of Pt (1%)-Sn (1%)/SBA-16 shows a better catalytic performance and time-on-stream activity for the target reaction.",
