ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a process for the dehydration of ethanol to form ethene in fixed adiabatic reactors containing a dehydration catalyst. The process includes the recycling of unreacted ethanol to the process, feeding the charge to the initial reactor at a pressure of 20 to 40 atmospheres, withdrawing the ethene from the final reactor at a pressure of no less than 18 atmospheres, and passing at least a portion of said reaction effluent to cryogenic purification with further compression.
