Periodic density function theory (DFT) and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method are carried out to investigate ethanol dehydration to ethylene on γ-Al2O3 surface. Data on the adsorption energy, adsorption sites and heat of reaction of key species for the reaction of ethanol dehydration to ethylene on γ-Al2O3(100) , (110C) and (110D) surfaces were obtained by the DFT method. Subsequently, KMC simulations are performed with DFT results employed as database. The kinetics of ethanol dehydration from γ-Al2O3(100) surface to ethylene was studied by KMC. The effects of water-alcohol ratios on the reaction process were investigated. Under the process conditions of 750 K, 1 MPa, and water-ethanol ratio ratios in the range of 1 to 3, appropriate reducing the water-alcohol ratio can effectively inhibit carbon build-up without having a significant impact on the rate of ethylene production, providing a theoretical basis for extending catalyst life and reduce the industrial production cost.
