The aim of this thesis is to study production of ethylene by dehydration of ethanol. This reaction represents a green way of obtaining this alkene, since ethanol can be obtained from biomass. The reaction has been tested in a microreactor, with three different catalysts – γ-alumina, H-Beta-38, and Sn-Beta-38. Temperature and residence time effects have been studied. Description of kinetics has been developed for the reaction catalysed by H-Beta-38.

Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to study production of ethylene by dehydration of ethanol. This reaction represents a green way of obtaining this alkene, since ethanol can be obtained from biomass. The reaction has been tested in a microreactor, with three different catalysts – γ-alumina, H-Beta-38, and Sn-Beta-38. Temperature and residence time effects have been studied. Description of kinetics has been developed for the reaction catalysed by H-Beta-38.File in questo prodotto:
