Catalytic ethanol dehydration route is a reality for the production of polyethylene from renewable sources. Ethanol dehydration process is carried out in the presence of acid catalysts, under temperatures ranging from 500 to 800K, obtaining ethylene selectivity ranging from 95 to 99% and ethanol conversion greater than 98\%. Despite the favorable v...
Catalytic dehydration of ethanol is the key step in the production of polyethylene from renewable raw materials. Obtaining a mathematical model to optimize the ethanol-to-ethylene reactor setup is of great interest to the industry, allowing the optimal design of larger plants and improvements to existing plants. This work presents a phenomenologica...
The production of chemicals from renewable lignocellulosic raw materials is expected to become an important productive chain globally. With the recent implementation of the first industrial plants, rapid and significant advances are expected to occur in terms of revenue, technology, and productivity. It is still not possible to determine which biom...
