The catalytic activity of the modified zeolites in the reaction of selective oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexane to cyclohexadiene-1,3 has been investigated. It has been found that, the catalyst, Cu Zn Co Cr-clinoptilolite (Cu²⁺—0.5%; Zn²⁺—0.2%; Co²⁺—0.1%; Cr³⁺—0.1%) shows the most activity in this reaction. A kinetic scheme of the mechanism of the reaction has been suggested and on the basis of this scheme, kinetic model of the process has been developed. Numerical values of the kinetic parameters were calculated.
