Abstract
Complete oxidation of ethanol, acetaldehyde, and a methanol-ethanol mi xture over supported copper oxide, chromium oxide, and copper oxide/ch romium oxide catalysts was investigated using a gradientless external recycle reactor. The catalysts were characterized by BET surface area measurement, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and ener gy dispersive X-ray analysis. The effect of catalyst type and composit ion, reaction temperature, and feed composition has been examined.
