High yield of light olefins by catalytic pyrolysis of naphtha on spinel-based catalysts is reported. The yields of ethylene and propylene reach over 50% and are at least 10% and 5% higher respectively than the yield using thermal Pyrolysis, under the same process conditions. The partial substitution of Mg by Co in MgAl 2 O 4 and the incorporation of Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , MgO, H 3 BO 3 in the spinel and SHS synthesis of KVO 3 all increase the catalytic conversion efficiency while at the same time they suppress substantially the formation of coke. It was found that SHS-KVO 3 catalytically accelerates the gasification of coke deposited on the catalyst surface and its optimum values were found to be more than 10 wt.%. The addition of B 2 O 3 into the KVO 3 -based catalyst causes a strong interaction between KVO 3 and SHS support, which decreases the loss by evaporation of the active phase
