Catalytic transformation of ethanol into 1,3-butadiene
نویسنده
چکیده
1,3-Butadiene is an important constituent of many products that we rely upon. It is currently prepared from non-sustainably derived sources. However, in the early part of the 20(th) Century the use of ethanol as a source of 1,3-butadiene has been reported. With the arrival of a cheap and bountiful supply of crude-oil derived sources the need for the sustainable route was deemed unnecessary. In recent years the conversion of ethanol to 1,3-butadiene has undergone somewhat of a mini resurgence as the chemical industry looks to try to find a sustainable and secure route to this important building block. This review will emphasise some of the most recent work in the field and look ahead to what needs to be achieved to make this research a reality. Graphical AbstractThis review focusses on the recent progress in the area of the conversion of ethanol to 1, 3-butadiene.

FULL PAPER Ethanol to 1,3-butadiene conversion using ZrZn-containing MgO- SiO2 systems prepared by co-precipitation and effect of catalyst acidity modification
The conversion of ethanol to 1,3-butadiene (1,3-BD) has been investigated over ZrO2 and ZnO containing magnesia silica oxides prepared by co-precipitation method at different Mg-to-Si molar ratios. The effect of reaction temperature and ethanol flow rate was investigated. The catalyst acidity was modified through the addition of alkali metals (Na, K and Li) to the final materials. Catalysts wer...

The stereospecific polymerization of conjugated dienes began in 1954 with the first catalysts obtained by combining TiCl4 or TiCl3 with aluminum-alkyls, i.e. the catalytic systems previously employed for ethylene and propylene polymerizations. Subsequently, many other catalytic systems were obtained and examined by a combination of transition metal or lanthanide compounds with appropriate alkyl...

The replacement of one of the two C5Me5 ligands in the samarocene(II) complex (C5Me5)2Sm(thf)2 with a monodentate anionic ligand such as OAr, SAr, NR1R2, or CH(SiMe3)2 gave a unique catalytic system, which can not only polymerize styrene and ethylene, but also copolymerize them into block styrene–ethylene copolymers under the presence of both monomers. On the other hand, the addition of an appr...

From Pd nanoparticles to single crystals: 1,3-butadiene hydrogenation on well-defined model catalysts.
Although 1,3-butadiene hydrogenation is known to be a structure-sensitive reaction, correlation of the catalytic activity with the exact Pd particle surface structure shows that the reaction is in fact particle size independent.
