Abstract: | Catalytic dehydration of isopropanol to propylene is a common reaction in laboratories to characterize the acid–base properties of catalysts. When acetone is produced, it is the sign of the presence of basic active sites, while propylene is produced on the acid sites. About 2/3rd of the world production of isopropanol is made from propylene, and the other third is made from acetone hydrogenation. Since the surplus acetone available on the market is mainly a coproduct of phenol synthesis, variations in the demand for phenol affect the supply position of acetone and vice versa. High propylene price and low demand for acetone should revive the industrial interest in acetone conversion. In addition, there is an increasing interest in the production of acetone and isopropanol from CO/CO |
