Catalytic conversion of bio-ethanol. Review.

Abstract

It is shown that biomass of different type can be processed into valuable products of organic and petrochemical synthesis and monomers of synthetic rubber in order to provide an alternative to the use of oil. The key technological, economical, ecological problems of bioethanol processing were stated. The analysis of development of new generation catalysts for motor fuels and hydrocarbons production from bioethanol is made.
