Acetone...

propylene and propane are obtained via ketonization-hydrogenation-dehydration over the three-component catalyst while ethanol, acetaldehyde, ethylene, ethane and ethyl acetate can also be produced from hydrogenation-dehydration over Cu/zeolites alone. The catalyst containing Cu/HY provides higher selectivity to olefin products, as compared to that containing Cu/HZSM-5.
