Abstract

Synthesis of butenes through dehydration of 2-butanol was investigated over HY zeolite catalysts. 2-Butanol dehydration reaction was carried out in a fixed bed catalytic reactor. 2-Butanol conversion was increased with increase of $Si/Al_2$ ratio of HY zeolite catalysts, which can be ascribed to increase of acid strength with increase of $Si/Al_2$ ratio. Selectivities to 1-butene, trans-2-butene, and cis-2-butene were not greatly influenced by the change of the $Si/Al_2$ ratio of HY zeolite. As a result, it was advantageous to use a HY zeolite catalyst with 60 $Si/Al_2$ ratio for maximizing the yield of 1-butene in the dehydration of 2-butanol. The optimal reaction temperature for maximizing the yield of 1-butene was $250^{\circ}C$ over HY (60) catalyst.

HY 제올라이트 촉매 상에서 2-부탄올의 탈수반응을 통한 부텐 제조에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 고정층 촉매 반응기에서 2-부탄올 탈수 반응을 수행하였다. HY 제올라이트 촉매의 $Si/Al_2$ 비가 증가할 때 2-부탄올의 전환율이 증가하는 경향을 보였는데 이는 산점의 세기가 증가했기 때문으로 해석할 수 있다. 2-부탄올의 탈수반응에 의해 생성된 1-부텐, 트랜스-2-부텐 및 시스-2-부텐의 선택도는 $Si/Al_2$ 몰 비의 변화에 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 사용한 HY 제올라이트 촉매 중에서 $Si/Al_2$ 몰 비가 60인 촉매가 2-부탄올의 탈수 반응에서 1-부텐의 수율을 최대화하는데 가장 유리한 것을 알 수 있었다. HY (60) 제올라이트 촉매의 경우, 1-부텐의 수율을 최대화하기 위한 최적 반응 온도는 $250^{\circ}C$ 이었다.
