Bq. Xu et al., SELECTIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF ETHANOL TO ACETALDEHYDE OVER NA ZSM-5 CALCINED AT HIGH-TEMPERATURE, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 49(1), 1993, pp. 223-228
The effect of calcination temperature on the catalytic behavior of Na
ZSM-5 for the conversion of ethanol has been studied. The selectivity
for acetaldehyde is shown to increase with the increase of calcination
temperature in the range of 823-1273 K. Calcination of the catalyst a
t 1273 K improves the selectivity of acetaldehyde up to 80% at 623-673
K. The active site for ethanol dehydrogenation is discussed.
