Propylene preparation from high concentration of ethanol on Ni-doped FSM-16

Abstract

It is generally accepted that the conversion of ethanol to propylene favorably proceeds on Ni-doped FSM-16 together with Ni-doped MCM-41. However most of the studies on the conversion have been examined at a low concentration of ethanol by 1 kPa and the examination at a higher concentration of ethanol is needed for the purpose of practical use of the conversion. In the present study, a higher concentration of ethanol by 30 kPa is used for the conversion to reveal some problems under the reaction conditions.
