Synthesis of 2,3-Butanedione over TS-1, Ti-NCl, TiMCM-41, Ti-Beta, Fe-Si, Fe-Beta and VS-1 Zeolites
Abstract
The purpose of this work is the synthesis of 2,3-butanedione (diacetyl) by selective oxidation of 2-butanone (methyl ethyl ketone) in the presence of O2 and H2O2 30% as oxidants. All the tests were performed over several selective oxidation zeolite catalysts, synthesized and characterized in our laboratory.
