Abstract
Abstract Gaseous streams containing carbonyl compounds are reduced in carbonyl compounds by reacting a vapor phase with catalyst comprising as the major cation portion at least two metals of Periodic Table Groups 1b, 2b, 4b, 6b, 7b and 8. Reactor effluent from oxidative dehydrogenation reaction to produce butadiene-1,3 is reacted with iron oxide-copper chromite on AMC catalyst to remove carbonyl compounds.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 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 organic carbonyl compounds as an impurity wherein the improvement comprises contacting 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 consisting of mixtures of oxides of Zr and Fe, and removing organic carbonyl compounds.
