Catalytic conversion of ethanol and hydrogen to a 1-butanol-containing reaction product using a thermally decomposed hydrotalcite containing the anion of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid

摘要

Hydrotalcites containing the anion of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid are partially or fully thermally decomposed to provide catalysts useful for the conversion of ethanol and hydrogen to a reaction product comprising 1-butanol.
