Notes:
The catalytic dehydrations of n-butanol, n-propanol, and ethanol to produce water and the respective olefins were studied for the temperature range 400° to 700°F. and over the pressure range 1 atm. to 100 lb./sq. in. gauge. Silica-alumina catalyst in bead form was used. Dehydration rates were found to be consistent with a single-site surface reaction-controlled mechanism in which was superimposed a mass transfer effect internal to the catalyst pellets. Rate constants for the three reactions are presented. The significances of their relative values and their temperature and pressure dependencies are discussed.
