Dehydrogenation of ethanol over Cu/ZnO catalysts prepared from various coprecipitated precursors

Fujita S, Iwasa N, Tani H, Nomura W, Arai M, Takezawa N

For the title reaction, Cu/ZnO catalysts prepared from aurichalcite were more active than those prepared from other precursors. Selectivity to ethyl acetate over Cu/ZnO was much higher than that over CU/SiO2,
