      abstract = {A method of converting C<SUB>2 </SUB>and/or higher alkanes  to olefins by contacting a feedstock containing C<SUB>2  </SUB>and/or higher alkanes with a first surface of a metal  composite membrane of a sintered homogenous mixture of an  Al oxide or stabilized or partially stabilized Zr oxide  ceramic powder and a metal powder of one or more of Pd, Nb,  V, Zr, Ta and/or alloys or mixtures thereof. The alkanes  dehydrogenate to olefins by contact with the first surface  with substantially only atomic hydrogen from the  dehydrogenation of the alkanes passing through the metal  composite membrane. Apparatus for effecting the conversion  and separation is also disclosed.},
