Coupling reaction between ethanol dehydrogenation and maleic anhydride hydrogenation catalyzed by Cu/Al2O3, Cu/ZrO2, and Cu/ZnO catalysts

Influence of structural parameters on the reaction of low temperature ethanol steam reforming over Pt/Al2O3 catalysts

“…Results were explained by suggesting a structure-sensitive character of the ethanol dehydrogenation reaction, considered as the first step in the reaction mechanism. Similarly, it has been reported [56] that large Cu crystallites favor the dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde. This is in agreement with the results of Fig.…”

Highly Selective Cu-Modified Ni/SiO2–Al2O3 Catalysts for the Conversion of Maleic Anhydride to γ-Butyrolactone in Gas Phase

“…Generally, the experiments were performed at temperatures between 190 and 240°C and pressures between 1 and 5 MPa. Particularly, Cu-based catalysts were used to study the gas-phase hydrogenation of MA between 210 and 280°C [6][7][8][9]14]. In general, the catalysts composition of these Cu-based catalysts is rather complex since they also contain Al, Zn, Cr and/or Ce.…”

“…The gas-phase hydrogenation of MA reaction was studied using several types of noble metal-based catalysts, such as Pd, Pt and Au, as well as Cu-based catalyst, both in liquid and gas phase [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Generally, the experiments were performed at temperatures between 190 and 240°C and pressures between 1 and 5 MPa.…”

Methanol dehydrogenation to methyl formate catalyzed by SiO2-, hydroxyapatite-, and MgO-supported copper catalysts and reaction kinetics

“…activities of the catalysts, such as Cu/Al 2 O 3 , Cu/MCM-41, Cu/H-ZSM-5, and Cu/H-b, with high acidities for ethanol and methanol dehydrogenation have been investigated [15][16][17]. Although these catalysts exhibited high catalytic activities for the conversion of ethanol and methanol, low selectivities of ethyl acetate and methyl formate were obtained.…”
