The present invention produces ethanol in a reactor that comprises a catalyst comprising from 40 to 70 wt. % copper and 15 to 40 wt. % zinc and a support material. The crude ethanol product may be separated and ethanol recovered.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the formation of an alcohol from an alkanoic acid, the steps of the process comprising: contacting a feed stream containing the alkanoic acid and hydrogen at an elevated temperature with a hydrogenating catalyst comprising from 3 to 25 wt. % of active metals comprising tin and cobalt and a metal promoter selected from the group consisting of noble metals or first metal, the first metal selected from the group of barium, cesium and potassium.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a catalyst composition having a support that contains tin. The catalyst is used for converting acetic acid to ethanol. The catalyst may also comprise one or more active metals and a support modifier.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for producing product comprising ethanol which comprises contacting a feedstock comprising acetic acid and hydrogen in a reaction zone at hydrogenation conditions with a catalyst composition comprising at least one active metal that may include a Group VIII metal and tin and from 0.01 to 0.5 wt. % cesium on a support comprising tungsten or oxides thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the formation of acetone from acetic acid. The process is conducted at an elevated temperature of above 225° C. by contacting a feed stream containing acetic acid, and an optional carrier gas, with a catalyst. The catalyst comprises a support that is favorable for the production of acetone. The support may comprise titania, zirconia, ceria, silica, iron oxide, and carbon, but preferably is titania, zirconia, and ceria.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for producing ethanol by contacting a feedstock comprising acetic acid and hydrogen in a reaction zone at hydrogenation conditions including a temperature from 125° C. to 350° C. with a catalyst composition, wherein the catalyst composition comprises from 1.5 wt. % to 3 wt. % active metals on a titania support, said active metals comprising at least one Group VIII metal and an excess molar amount of tin, relative to the at least one Group VIII metal.
摘要:
The present invention, in one embodiment, relates to a process for producing ethanol. The process comprises the step of reacting acetic acid and hydrogen in a shell and tube reactor and in the presence of a catalyst under conditions effective to form a crude ethanol product. The crude ethanol product comprises ethanol, acetic acid, ethyl acetate, and water. The process further comprises the step of recovering ethanol from the crude ethanol product. The shell and tube reactor comprises one or more tubes, each containing a heat transfer medium, and a shell comprising the catalyst. Preferably, the shell and tube reactor has an inlet temperature and an outlet temperature and the inlet temperature is substantially similar to or less than the outlet temperature.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a catalyst having an amorphous support and one or more active metals. The amorphous support may comprise a support material and an amorphous support modifier, which adjusts the acidity of the support material. In preparing the amorphous catalyst, post-synthesis treatment, i.e. calcination, may be used to adjust the catalyst performance while converting acetic acid to ethanol.
