    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a low-cost iron oxide-containing catalyst for the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene easy to synthesize and having a large pore volume, high activity, selectivity and mechanical stability by using iron oxide obtained by spray-roasting an iron salt solution. SOLUTION: Iron oxide obtained by spray-roasting an iron salt solution is used for producing the objective iron oxide-containing catalyst. At this time, 0.6-1 g/cm3 stamp density and 1-10 m2/g specific surface area are provided. The pore volume of the catalyst is at least 0.2 cm3/g and the average pore diameter (median) is at least 0.3 μm. At least one potassium compound may be incorporated besides the iron oxide. One or more promoters which increase selectivity, activity and stability may further be incorporated and the particularly preferred promoter is a compound of a metal selected form Mg, Ca, Ce, V, Cr, Mo and W.
