Abstract
Over the past couple of years, fossil fuel consumption has been increased significantly. Today the consumption of coal, natural gas, and oil is rising continuously worldwide. In contrast to fossil fuels, biofuels can be advantageous because of their eco-friendly behavior with the environment. Ethanol is the “green” substitute for gasoline, as it can be blended with gasoline or can be used for the production of lighter olefins (ethylene and propylene). Ethanol can be produced either by fermentation or by catalytic route from various sources such as sugar/starchy material, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and dimethylether. The catalytic route has emerged as the better route compared to fermentation due to the requirement of a large number of crops which is generally not suitable for every country. The study of ethanol synthesis and the catalytic transformation of ethanol to lighter olefins such as ethylene and propylene is presented in this review. The effect of catalysts such as zirconia, alumina, and zeolites in the ethanol transformation to olefins has been discussed in detail.
期刊介绍：
Early dissemination of important findings from Asia which may lead to new concepts in catalyst design is the main aim of this journal. Rapid, invited, short reviews and perspectives from academia and industry will constitute the major part of Catalysis Surveys from Asia . Surveys of recent progress and activities in catalytic science and technology and related areas in Asia will be covered regularly as well. We would appreciate critical comments from colleagues throughout the world about articles in Catalysis Surveys from Asia . If requested and thought appropriate, the comments will be included in the journal. We will be very happy if this journal stimulates global communication between scientists and engineers in the world of catalysis.
