The upgrading of acetic acid to propylene can be accomplished by the keto-hydrodeoxygenation (KHDO) that integrates ketonization-hydrogenation-dehydration into one-bed catalyst system. Under H₂ stream, propylene and acetone were mainly obtained over tri-functional catalyst (CeO₂-5%Cu/HZSM-5 (Si/Al=250)) at 573K. Ethylene and oxygenates are also produced from reduction / hydrogenation of acetic acid.
