“…[31,32] Specialized ethanol-to-ethylene heterogeneous catalysts such as Syndol have become commercially available with high selectivity and conversion. [32,33] Dehydration of higher alcohols has been less explored, although isobutanol dehydration has been reportedt ob ea chievable with av arietyo fh eterogeneousc atalysts including zeolites, alumina, and acids, also with relatively high conversion. [14b, 25, 32, 34] Dehydration of isobutanol can produce am ixture of butene isomers ande ven initiate oligomerization reactions, butahigh selectivity to isobutene in the dehydration step is reportedlyp referred for isobutanol conversion.…”
