heal.abstract	Experimental kinetic data have been obtained for ethanol oxidation over laboratory made CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. A synthetic gas mixture which consisted of 0.1-1% ethanol, 0.2-15% oxygen and nitrogen was the feed of an integral tubular reactor between 350 and 800 K under atmospheric pressure at space velocities between 8 800 and 33 000 h-1. The reaction rate constants and activation energy for the oxidation of ethanol were estimated. Under oxygen excess acetaldehyde yield goes through a maximum while under oxygen deficit acetaldehyde is the final product even at high temperatures.	en
