Feasibility Study on the Etherification of Fermentative-Produced Isobutylene to Fully Renewable Ethyl <em>Tert</em>-Butyl Ether (ETBE)
This work evaluates the direct etherification of bio-sourced isobutylene with ethanol forming fully renewable ethyl <i>tert</i>-butyl ether (ETBE). Challenge was the use of the fermentative produced substrate in a solvent-free catalysis using the acidic ion exchanger Amberlyst-15. CO<...
