Ethylene Formation by Catalytic Dehydration of Ethanol with Industrial Considerations
Ethylene is the primary component in most plastics, making it economically valuable. It is produced primarily by steam-cracking of hydrocarbons, but can alternatively be produced by the dehydration of ethanol, which can be produced from fermentation processes using renewable substrates such as gluco...
