Abstract

The heterogeneous catalytic conversion ofn-pentanol to dialkylether was carried out using untreated cation-exchanged montmorillonites and using samples which had been preheated at 300°C in an atmosphere of air, hydrogen or nitrogen. The catalyst has been characterized by applying thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and cation exchange capacity tests. Gas-chromatographic analysis of the products showed that the catalytic reactivity of the exchanged montmorillonite is related to the cation radius.
