J. Ogonowski et al., Impact of activation temperature and work time of gamma-Al2O3 catalysts ontheir activity in conversion of methyl and isobutyl alcohols into ethers, PRZEMY CHEM, 78(12), 1999, pp. 428
Results of studies on the impact of activation temperature of aluminium cat
alyst (gamma-Al2O3) on activity and selectivity of the catalyst in reaction
of methyl and isobutyl alcohols conversion into ethers are presented. Cata
lyst activated at 673 K showed lowest activity. Above 723 K any significant
change in the yield of reaction was not stated. Catalytic properties of th
e gamma-Al2O3 catalyst were stable for 60-hour period of its work.
