Abstract

Experiments on direct synthesis of acetonitrile from ethanol, ammonia, and hydrogen at 513–573 K in the presence of new Cu-, Cu–Zn–(Zr)-, and Cu–Mg-containing composite catalysts prepared using calcium aluminates (Talyum, technical-grade calcium aluminate) were performed The following results were reached: ethanol conversion 96.0–99.0%, selectivity with respect to acetonitrile 99.0%, and acetonitrile output exceeding the reported level by a factor of 1.2–1.4. The new technology can be implemented in industry.
