Abstract
Ethanol is dehydrated to ethylene at dehydration reaction conditions in the presence of a dehydration catalyst, with the reaction being effected in a fluidized bed of the dehydration catalyst. The use of a fluidized bed has been found to improve overall yields, with it being possible to achieve yields of 99+%.
