A DFT study of the aldol condensation reaction in the processing of ethanol to 1,3-butadiene on a MgO/SiO2 surface

Weiwei Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, density functional theory was used to investigate the interaction mechanism between MgO and SiO2 in the catalyst system for 1,3-butadiene production from ethanol. It was found that SiO2 acts as a structural and electronic promoter for MgO, affecting its electronic and acid-base properties. The study also revealed that the difficulty of the aldol condensation reaction varies on different catalyst structures, with MgO supported on SiO2 showing lower reaction barriers due to its strong Lewis acidity and weak basicity.

Texture and morphology-directed activity of magnesia-silica mixed oxide catalysts of ethanol-to-butadiene reaction

Blanka Szabo et al.

Summary: Mixed oxide catalysts with different texture and morphology of magnesia-silica were prepared for the ethanol-to-butadiene reaction. The structure and acidity/basicity of the catalysts were modified by wet-kneading and hard-templating methods. The results showed that the catalysts containing high-SSA MgO exhibited higher activity and BD selectivity.
