Abstract
AbstractCatalysts were prepared by precipitation of aluminium hydroxide on a wet silica gel. The dehydration of ethyl alcohol on catalysts varying in alumina content was studied at 307° using a flow system. The products of dehydration were ethylene, ether and water. The kinetics of the formation of ethylene followed the Langmuir‐Hinshelwood mechanism, while the formation of ether occurred according to the Langmuir‐Hinshelwood mechanism and the Rideal‐Eley mechanism simultaneously. The catalytic activity was controlled by the amount of aluminium on the surface. The rate constants were correlated with the surface nature of the catalysts.
