Conversion of biorenewably available acetone and butanol to liquid fuels using base catalysts

Tarun Pratap Singh Jadon et al.

Summary: The study focused on acetone butylation over KF/Na-ZSM-5 and ZSM-5 impregnated with other K-compounds, showing promising results with high acetone conversion and selectivity for ketones and alcohols. The basicity of the catalysts was determined using FTIR and CO2 adsorption methods, revealing stability and effectiveness without leaching of F. By avoiding conventional metals, catalyst costs were reduced and metal sintering eliminated, enhancing the overall performance at comparable operating conditions.
