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 …

Butadiene is an important monomer for synthetic rubbers. Currently, the annual demand of∼
16 million tonnes is satisfied by butadiene produced as a byproduct of steam naphtha …

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 …

Synthetic rubbers fabricated from 1, 3-butadiene (BD) and its substituted monomers have
been extensively used in tires, toughened plastics, and many other products owing to the …

The Mg-catalyzed dehydrogenation of ethanol to yield acetaldehyde is an important step in
the Lebedev reaction. In this work, we prepared a model MgO–SiO2 catalyst by …

Assessment of catalyst performance is necessary for process design in order to evaluate the
effect of reaction conditions on process economics and configuration. In this work, the …

The effect of ZnO and the preparation method of ZnO/ZrO2–SiO2 catalysts on their acid–
base properties and catalytic performances in the conversion of diluted ethanol mixtures into …

High performances in the conversion of ethanol to 1, 3-butadiene were achieved with a Zn
(II) and Ta (V) catalyst supported on TUD-1, a mesoporous silica. The selectivity reached …

Some fundamental and practical aspects of a Hf-Zn catalyst, with a nominal composition of
3.0 wt% Hf and 9.3 wt% Zn, and prepared as a physical mixture of Hf/SiO 2 (85 wt%) and the …

The direct conversion of ethanol to butadiene (ETB) is a promising approach for renewable
butadiene production. However, simultaneous achievement of high butadiene selectivity …
