Exploiting Diluted Bioethanol Solutions for the Production of Ethylene: Preliminary Process Design and Heat Integration

Several activity tests on a zeolite-based catalyst for the ethanol to ethylene dehydration reaction are used to outline the stoichiometry of 4 reactions describing the observed outcome. The heat and mass balances of a reactor were calculated. The thermal input was mainly sustained with a standard pr...
