The aim is to develop a stable and active catalytic system for producing n-butanol from bioethanol through Guerbet condensation.
Analyzed catalytic performance under various conditions
Assessed stability and leaching of metal components
Compared new catalytic system with traditional methods
The new catalytic system showed significantly reduced metal leaching
Enhanced activity and stability compared to previous catalysts
n-Butanol was produced in higher yields than traditional processes
Abstract
The production of n-butanol from bioethanol via Guerbet condensation is a green process route. However, this process has issues such as easy leaching of metal components from the catalyst and...
