Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing butadiene from 2,3-butanediol with high selectivity without using a radioactive substance is disclosed. The method for producing butadiene comprises the step of dehydrating 2,3-butanediol in the presence of a catalyst containing an alkali metal salt of phosphoric acid such as an alkali metal dihydrogen phosphate supported on silica. Preferred examples of the alkali metal herein include K, Rb, and Cs. The catalyst is preferably a catalyst prepared by calcination of the silica to which the alkali metal of phosphoric acid is attached.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing butadiene, said method comprising dehydrating 2,3-butanediol in the presence of a catalyst containing an alkali metal dihydrogen phosphate supported on silica to produce a product stream containing butadiene. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of said alkali metal dihydrogen phosphate to the total weight of said silica and said alkali metal dihydrogen phosphate in said catalyst is not less than 5 wt % and not more than 40 wt % before supporting said alkali metal dihydrogen phosphate on said silica. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the alkali metal in said alkali metal dihydrogen phosphate is one or more selected from the group consisting of K, Rb, and Cs. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said alkali metal dihydrogen phosphate is supported on said silica by calcination of silica to which alkali metal dihydrogen phosphate was attached. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a reaction temperature of the dehydrating 2,3-butanediol is not less than 380° C. and not more than 520° C.
