Abstract
Abstract Gaseous streams containing carbonyl compounds are reduced in carbonyl compounds by reacting a vapor phase with catalyst of Periodic Table Groups 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3b, 4b, 6b, 7b, 8 and mixtures. Reactor effluent from oxidative dehydrogenation reaction to produce butadiene-1,3 is reacted with calcium oxide catalyst to remove carbonyl compounds.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
In a vapor phase process for the preparation of unsaturated hydrocarbons comprising catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of a feed stream of hydrocarbon compounds having 4 to 8 carbon atoms to produce an unsaturated hydrocarbon product stream having a greater degree of ethylenic unsaturation than said feed stream and containing carbonyl compounds as an impurity wherein the improvement comprises contacting only said product stream in vapor phase at a temperature in the range of 250° to 800° C. and containing less than 5 mol percent free oxygen with a solid catalyst for destroying said carbonyl compounds and consisting of an oxide, carbonate or hydroxide of one metal selected from Zr, Zn, Ca, Co, Sr, Fe, Ti, Pd or Ce and reducing the carbonyl content of said stream.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
