ETHYLENE HYDRATION OVER NIOBIC ACID CATALYSTS

Abstract
Niobic acids preheated in vacuo at moderate temperatures (200–220 °C) were found to be highly active for ethylene hydration to form ethyl alcohol. The activity at steady state was higher than that of a well known solid phosphoric acid, the selectivity being more than 97% at a reaction temperature of 220 °C.
