WSU team develops catalyst to convert ethanol to isobutene

2015-12-21 21:52:16| Agriculture - Topix.net

Washington State University researchers, with colleagues from Archer Daniels Midland, have developed a catalyst that converts bio-based ethanol to isobutene, an important olefin widely used in the production of industrial commodities such as butyl rubber and ethyl tert-butyl ether . Currently, the majority of isobutene is produced by the energy-intensive steam-cracking of naphtha.
