eng Catalytic Conversion of Ethanol to 1-Butanol via Guerbet Reaction Using Copper/Lithium-Aluminum Mixed Metal Oxides This study focuses on the catalytic conversion of ethanol into more valuable chemical compounds, particularly 1-butanol, using heterogeneous catalysts. The Guerbet reaction in combination with copper-lithium-aluminum mixed metal oxides as catalysts was investigated as a promising pathway for ethanol transformation. The catalysts were synthesized via urea precipitation, with copper introduced either during the co-precipitation step or through post-synthetic impregnation. The catalytic experiments were conducted in a gas-phase fixed-bed reactor under a range of temperatures (300–400 °C) and pressures (1.5–10 MPa). catalytic conversion; ethanol; 1-butanol; Cu-Li-Al2O3
