Zinc oxide-modified mordenite as an effective catalyst for the dehydrogenation of (bio)ethanol to acetaldehyde
Samuel J. Raynes, Russell A. Taylor
Abstract
Varying the extraframework metal cation on alkali exchanged mordenite tunes the ethanol dehydrogenation properties of ZnO supported on mordenite, resulting in enhanced lifetime, low ethylene selectivity and increased acetaldehyde productivity per Zn.
