Abstract
The catalytic ethanol dehydration with oxygen cofeeding over different pretreated Pd-HBZ catalysts was investigated. The catalyst was pretreated with different gas including air, nitrogen, and hydrogen. It was tested in ethanol dehydration in the presence and absence of oxygen cofeeding. It was significantly found that with the presence of oxygen cofeeding, the complete ethanol conversion was obtained at very low temperature (ca. 200 °C) and ethylene was a major product. This can be attributed to increased moderate and strong acid sites of catalyst by oxygen cofeeding. In addition, the different gas pretreatment seemed to have less effect on catalytic behaviors.
