Recent Advances in Catalytic Conversion of Bioethanol to 1,3-Butadiene: Reaction Mechanism, Catalyst Design, and Process Scalability. [PDF]
Catalytic conversion of ethanol to 1,3‐butadiene (BD) can proceed via one‐step and two‐step routes. In the one‐step process, pure and metal‐modified MgO–SiO2 catalysts enable direct ethanol transformation to BD, while ZrO2‐based catalysts drive the two‐step pathway.
