What is it about?
The catalytic properties of zeolites of various structural types in the liquid phase synthesis of ethyl tert-butyl ether from isobutylene and ethanol have been studied. The activity and selectivity of the catalysts depend on the concentration and strength of the acid centers. A possible mechanism for the synthesis of ethyl tert-butyl ether is proposed, suggesting that isobutylene and ethanol are activated on the weak and strong acid centers respectively.
