摘要
The upgrading of ethanol to n-butanol via the Guerbet reaction in aqueous media has been developed. This system allows for the upgrading of ethanol to n-butanol in up to a 28% yield and 57% selectivity, at only 80 degrees C. This system is also able to tolerate the same feedstock ratio found in fermentation broth (water to ethanol ratio of 90:10), albeit a decrease in yield and selectivity (20% yield of n-butanol, 48% selectivity). Smaller amounts of longer-chain alcohols are also formed.
