The results of the studies of the processes of catalytic conversion of ethanol to 1,3-butadiene during the last decade are summarized. Modern ideas about the mechanisms of such processes are discussed. The influence of the composition and method of preparation, as well as the nature of modifying additives on redox and acid–base characteristics of the catalyst surface, which determine their activity and selectivity, is reviewed. Particular attention is paid to the conversion of ethanol–aqueous mixtures. The directions of further research for the implementation of the process of obtaining 1,3-butadiene from ethanol and ethanol–aqueous mixtures are outlined.
