Abstract
The comparison of the catalytic activity of the initial and activated by bremsstrahlung -radiation on a high-current electron accelerator of zirconium dioxide nanoparticles on the nature of the conversion of ethanol. The used -activation parameters contributed to the formation of a more perfect crystal structure of ZrO2 nanoparticles. It was shown that when using -activated ZrO2 nanoparticles as a catalyst, the yield of hydrocarbon products during the conversion of ethanol was several times higher than the yield of the same products in the case of using the initial ZrO2 nanoparticles. The mechanism of such a conversion of ethanol can be associated with the synergism of large ionization losses of Auger electrons and the effect of highly reactive products involved in heterogeneous catalysis.
