Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for hydrogenating acetic acid to produce ethanol, in particular to a method for hydrogenating acetic acid to produce ethanol with a supported transition metal carbide catalyst. (2) Background technology [0002] Ethanol is a high-quality liquid fuel with low sulfur and ash content, similar combustion performance to gasoline, high oxygen content and octane number, complete combustion and low carbon monoxide emissions compared with ordinary gasoline, and the use of ethanol gasoline can significantly To reduce environmental pollution caused by burning gasoline, ethanol is called the "green energy" of the 21st century. With the intensification of the contradiction between oil supply and demand and the increasing pressure on the environment, countries around the world generally pay attention to alternative energy sources, which promotes the development of fuel ethanol. Most of the existing ethanol production technologi...
