The n-octyl alcohol dehydrogenation was investigated over a series of catalysts prepared by calcination of hydrotalcite-like compounds with different Cu loading (0–100%, taking into account only cationsM2+). The characterization of the solids was performed by XRD, XPS and nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements. As the Cu0 was found as the active specie, the Mg allowed to promote the high dispersion of Cu0. The kinetic of the reaction was examined and a possible mechanism was proposed. Then, this proposed kinetic model for n-octyl alcohol dehyd
