About this document
Cross-Aldol Condensation of Acetone by Aravind is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the cross-aldol condensation of acetone and n-butanol into aliphatic ketones using copper catalysts supported on ceria-zirconia. The research highlights the importance of catalyst composition, specifically the Ce/Zr ratio, in optimizing acetone conversion and product selectivity, with Cu/0.8CeZr showing the best performance. The findings suggest that ceria-rich supports enhance the stability and activity of the catalysts, making them promising for biofuel production.
