  • Process for removing intermittent organic compounds from gaseous streams
    Patent number: 4012335
    Abstract: Intermittent hydrocarbon contaminants, which are volatilized by an air regeneration stream from coked catalyst in cyclic dehydrogenation process, are effectively removed from the gaseous regeneration stream containing them prior to venting it by contacting that portion of the stream containing a predominant amount of the volatilized hydrocarbons with a catalyst such as chromia-alumina in the presence of air to convert a substantial amount of the hydrocarbon contaminants to water and CO.sub.2.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 28, 1975
    Date of Patent: March 15, 1977
    Assignee: Petro-Tex Chemical Corporation
    Inventor: Rudolph C. Woerner
