The influence of composition of ZnO(Cu)/MgO-SiO2 and ZnO(Cu)/ZrO2-SiO2 catalysts on their catalytic performance in the 1,3-butadiene production process from rectified ethanol and ethanol-aqueous mixtures has been studied.
The ZnO/MgO-SiO2 catalyst that contains equivalent amounts of MgO and SiO2, is characterized by the highest activity and selectivity for 1,3-butadiene among ZnO/MgO-SiO2 systems, due to the optimal ratio of acid and basic surface sites. It is shown that highly active MgO-SiO2-based catalysts can be obtained by wet-kneading of magnesium oxide/hydroxide and freshly precipitated silicate material, due to which it is possible to obtain a high concentration of LAS in interface of the components. Catalysts ZnO/ZrO2-SiO2 prepared by wet-kneading of ZnO nanoparticles and ZrO2-SiO2 has shown higher activity and selectivity in the conversion of ethanol-water mixtures into 1,3-butadiene compared to those prepared by impregnation.
It has been shown that the radical polymerization of the C4 fraction obtained by the catalytic conversion of ethanol/ethanol-aqueous mixtures makes it possible to obtain functionalized liquid rubbers that can be used as binders in the creation of high-energy compositions for various purposes.
