Abstract
Abstract Hydrogen peroxide and organic active oxygen-containing compounds in an organic stream, such as that from a methyl benzyl alcohol oxidate after hydrogen peroxide separation, are selectively decomposed by non-catalytic thermal treatment at 150°-180° C. for 20-60 minutes whereby the organic active oxygen materials selectively decompose to acetophenone and methyl benzyl alcohol.
