Tantalum-containing SiBEA zeolite with iso-Bio-ethanol lated framework mononuclear Ta(V) doped with Ag, Cu, and Zn was prepared and characterized by XRD, XPS, DR UV-vis, and FTIR (with pyridine, 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine, pyrrole, and deuterated chloroform). The conversion of ethanol as a renewable raw material into 1,3-butadiene by the Lebedev method over these zeolite catalysts was investigated. The doping of TaSiBEA with Ag, Cu, and Zn changes its catalytic properties in ethanol conversion into 1,3-butadiene as a result of modification of the acid base properties with formation of additional dehydrogenation sites. Such modification allows accelerating ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde and subsequent steps of the ethanol-to-butadiene process. Ethanol conversion and butadiene selectivity over the catalysts are increased in the order: TaSiBEA < ZnTaSiBEA < AgTaSiBEA < CuTaSiBEA. Higher selectivity to butadiene (73%) was achieved over CuTaSiBEA (at 88% ethanol conversion, T = 598 K, WHSV = 0.5 h(-1)).
