Autothermal partial oxidation of butanol isomers

Bioisobutanol as a Promising Feedstock for Production of “Green” Hydrocarbons and Petrochemicals (A Review)

“…Another process used for producing hydrogen from isobutanol is autothermal conversion in the presence of water and oxygen. In [116], the hydrogen yield on the 1% Rh/α-Al 2 O 3 catalyst was 70% at 100% conversion of the alcohol.…”

A New Process for Maleic Anhydride Synthesis from a Renewable Building Block: The Gas‐Phase Oxidehydration of Bio‐1‐butanol

“…[29] Over dehydrogenating catalysts, 1butanol transformsi nto two main products, butyraldehyde and 4-heptanone (ketonisation reaction), [30,31] and smaller amountso fh ydrocarbons, such as butene, heptene and 3methylheptane, as well as of other oxygenated compounds, such as 4-heptanol, dibutyl ether and butyl butyrate. [39,41] Acid catalysts for1 -butanold ehydration into butenes include heteropoly compounds, [42][43][44] AlPO 4 , [45,46] sulphated alumina, [47] hydroxyapatite, [48] Ta-montmorillonite and Ta /Si mixed oxides, [49,50] silica-alumina, [51] Al/Pa nd Al/Ga/P oxynitrides.

Autothermal reforming of isobutanol

“…Since these products are not likely to desorb on the rhodium surface, their formation may be attributed mostly to homogeneous chemistry within the reactor. 15 The above three equations can be combined to give the overall reaction (eqn (5)) for the integrated system consisting of CPO and WGS.…”
