Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Butadiene formation reaction from ethanol over various kinds of silica-magnesia having different MgO contents were studied from the standpoint of its acid-base catalysis. Maximum acidity was obtained at 50% MgO, while basicity increased with the MgO content. Silica-magnesia (85% MgO) having adequate acidity and basicity gave the maximum activity. The reaction mechanism and the roles of acidic and basic sites are discussed. The rate controlling step is the acetaldehyde formation catalyzed by basic sites.</jats:p>
