Abstract (2. Language): 
Vapour-phase dehydrogenation of ethanol to produce acetaldehyde using heterogeneous modified kaolinite catalyst was achieved in this work. The kaolinite was obtained from a local clay resource situated in Anambra State, Nigeria and was thermally modified. The effect of reaction temperature, catalyst loading and process duration were also investigated. The results obtained showed that while increase in reaction temperature and catalyst loading increased the conversion of ethanol, the effect of increase in catalyst loading was stronger. A decrease in conversion with time was also observed, indicating catalyst deactivation. The modified kaolinite was found to be an effective catalyst for the dehydrogenation reaction - a great boost for the green chemistry campaign
