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 …

Bioethanol produced via valorisation of renewable biomass is of great interest to many
industries. The increased availability and decreased cost of bioethanol make it a promising …

Zinc and Yttrium single sites were introduced into the silanol nests of dealuminated BEA
zeolite to produce Zn-DeAlBEA and Y-DeAlBEA. These materials were then investigated for …

Bifunctional Zn–Y/Beta catalyst was applied in the reaction mechanism study of the ethanol
to butadiene conversion to clarify the roles of Zn and Y functional sites in each individual …

Biomass-derived ethanol (EtOH) and acetaldehyde (AcH) conversion to 1, 3-butadiene (1, 3-
BD) is an alternative process for 1, 3-BD production. The present investigation reports the …

Wet-kneaded silica–magnesia is a benchmark catalyst for the one-step ethanol-to-butadiene
Lebedev process. Magnesium silicates, formed during wet kneading, have been proposed …

An interest in the on-purpose production of 1, 3-butadiene (1, 3-BD) has grown, as a
consequence of the decline in naphtha cracking for the production of ethene and propene …

Elucidation of reaction mechanisms and the geometric and electronic structure of the active
sites themselves is a challenging, yet essential task in the design of new heterogeneous …

Abstract A ternary Ag/ZrO 2/SiO 2 catalyst system was studied for single-step conversion of
ethanol to butadiene by varying the catalyst composition (Ag, Ir, or Pt metal component …

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 …
