Catalytic Conversion of Butanol to Olefins

Ivan C. Lee, Douglas A. Behrens and Jeff St Clair, US Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD

Catalytic conversions of butanol, 2-butanol and isobutanol to olefins are investigated in a short contact time reactor. These butanol isomers were converted to 4-carbon olefins that are useful for synthetic fuel production.
