Popis: The catalytic conversion of ethanol over zeolite H-ZSM-5 in the presence of water has been studied as a model system for conversion of ethanol-containing aqueous fermentation mixtures. The influence of several reaction variables is studied. Depending on the reaction conditions, different mixtures of hydrocarbons are obtained. Above 535 K up to 50 wt % of aromatics are found while at lower temperatures dehydration and oligomerization predominate. Water added to the feed appears to increase the yield of aromatics. A low space velocity results in a high selectivity for aromatics whereas at hiph space velocity dehydration becomes more important. Water as co-feed is assumed to decrease the rate of deactivation. Dealuminated zeolite H-Y and dealuminated H-mordenite show only dehydrative activity while dealuminated H-mordenite is found to deactivate quite rapidly, in spite of the presence of water.
