Abstract

Butyraldehyde is an important chemical for many industrial applications, especially in the production of polyvinylbutyral. A systematic study of its synthesis by catalytic dehydrogenation of butanol, using zinc oxide as catalyst has been carried out. The effect of the method of preparation of zinc oxide on its catalytic activity for the title reaction has also been studied. The optimum conditions for maximum yield have been worked out and on the basis of secondary electron micrograms the reasons for higher activity/selectivity in the case of zinc oxide calcined from zinc hydroxide is attributed to the presence of hexagonal morphology. A kinetic study for the best zinc oxide catalyst has been carried out and the rate equation has been determined.
