The direct transformation of ethanol to acetaldehyde is an important step in the cascade conversion of bioethanol to higher value chemicals and for the development of sustainable fuels. Herein, zinc oxide supported on alkali cation-exchanged mordenite (ZnO/M-MOR) prepared by a simple wetness impregnation method, is shown to be a selective and stable catalyst for the direct dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde at 400 degrees C under continuous flow conditions. Through variation of the ZnO loading and the zeolite counter-cation (Na, K, Rb, Cs), an optimum catalyst material was identified, ZnO/Rb-MOR loaded at 3.5 wt% Zn. Acetaldehyde productivity (normalised to Zn) could be increased by over 80% and ethylene selectivity reduced to 0.9% through simple variation of the extra-framework alkali cation. Very low ethylene production leads to low levels of carbonaceous deposits and therefore minimal deactivation at short time on stream (
