In order to create a more efficient process for the production of styrene from ethylbenzene by selective oxidation of the resulting hydrogen, model aluminum-chromium catalysts with different modifier (Cu) contents were prepared, and O2, CO2 and a mixture of CO2:air were used as an oxidant. It has been es-tablished that the process of obtaining of styrene from ethylbenzene on alumochromic catalysts is characterized by a high intensity. Alumochromic catalysts modified by Cu and promoted by 15 mass.% K2CO3 in the presence of carbon dioxide increase the conversion of ethylbenzene by 14%, and the selectivity of the formation of styrene by 10% as a result of the transferring dehydrogenation of compaction products to the products of oxidative compaction. The presence of oxygen in the oxidizing mixture CO2:air blocks the participation of carbon dioxide in the selective oxidation of hydrogen isolating at the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. It has been established that the most selective alumochromic catalysts in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene contain 1.5–2.5 mass.% of the modifying component (Cu)
