Catalytic Reduction of Acetic Acid, Methyl Acetate, and Ethyl Acetate over Silica-Supported Copper

Non-precious Metal Catalysts for Acetic Acid Reduction

“…However, over Co/SiO 2 , dominantly decomposition products (CH 4 and CO 2 ) were obtained. The high selectivity of Cu/SiO 2 for ethanol, acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate production was confirmed one and half decade later [24] and in our recent studies. However, a patent is of an age with ref.…”

First-principles kinetic modeling in heterogeneous catalysis: an industrial perspective on best-practice, gaps and needs

“…111 Even less demanding is a somewhat intermediate approach, which avoids the explicit surface vibrational calculations and predicts the entropy of surface species by scaling that of the corresponding gas-phase molecule and subtracting the loss in translational entropy. 112,113 This scaling factor is typically obtained from regression to experimental data, which clearly hampers the application of this method in a purely first-principles context.…”

Thermochemical biorefinery based on dimethyl ether as intermediate: Technoeconomic assessment

“…Methanol can also be carbonylated to methyl acetate, but deactivation of the catalyst by the generated water occurs. The hydrogenation of acetates is a well-known process for which different catalysts have been developed [2][3][4][12][13][14]. In this work, data from various recent developments have been considered: (i) for the hydrocarbonylation cases a combination of a carbonylation (H-Mordenite) and a hydrogenation (Cu-ZnO) catalyst is used.…”
