P modified ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness method with varying H3PO4 content from 5 to 20 wt% which yield the P content between 0 to 7.46 wt%. The catalysts were evaluated towards ethanol dehydration at 250-450 °C and butanol dehydration at 200-350 °C. The catalysts were thoroughl...
