Butadiene is a crucial chemical, notably for the manufacturing of car tires. The ethanol-to-
butadiene reaction has emerged as a promising solution to both environmental concerns …

Bioethanol produced via valorisation of renewable biomass is of great interest to many
industries. The increased availability and decreased cost of bioethanol make it a promising …

1, 3-Butadiene is traditionally produced as a byproduct of ethylene production from steam
crackers. What is unusual is that the alternative production route for this important …

Bifunctional Zn–Y/Beta catalyst was applied in the reaction mechanism study of the ethanol
to butadiene conversion to clarify the roles of Zn and Y functional sites in each individual …

Despite of extensive attention on the ethanol to butadiene (ETB) conversion, the catalyst
deactivation during ETB conversion is rarely investigated and poorly understood. Here, the …

The results of the studies of the processes of catalytic conversion of ethanol to 1, 3-
butadiene during the last decade are summarized. Modern ideas about the mechanisms of …

A series of ZnO/MgO-SiO 2 systems have been prepared and characterized by one-pass
temperature-programmed desorption of CO 2, NH 3 and H 2 O, FTIR spectroscopy with …

Atomistic scale models were developed and coupled with experimental investigation to
deliver a functional understanding of catalytic activity and selectivity in the conversion of …

A full factorial experimental design was performed to investigate the conversion of ethanol to
1, 3-butadiene (1, 3-BD), through manipulation of the reaction temperature and ethanol …

Ni-based catalysts supported on magnesium silicate were synthesized using various
synthesis procedures and were then investigated for the first time in the glycerol-DR (dry …
