METAL DOPED SILICATE CATALYSTS FOR THE SELECTIVE CONVERSION OF ETHANOL TO BUTADIENE

摘要

A process for the preparation of butadiene comprising (i) providing a gas stream G-1 comprising ethanol; (ii) contacting the gas stream G-1 provided in (i) with a catalyst, thereby obtaining a gas stream G-2 comprising butadiene; wherein the catalyst comprises a crystalline material supporting one or more catalytically active metals M, as well as to the use of the crystalline material supporting one or more catalytically active metals M.
