Abstract: The invention concerns a process for producing unsaturated compounds from chlorinated alkanes by dehydrochlorination wherein a phase transfer catalyst is used during reaction of chlorinated alkane with aqueous base. After dehydrochlorination, the products are distilled or flashed off. Then, the phase transfer catalyst is recovered and reused by extracting the catalyst from spent aqueous base with fresh chlorinated alkane and using the mixture of chlorinated alkane and catalyst from the extraction as feedstock.

Abstract: Water and organic low-boiling constituents in organic heat transfer fluids used to heat commercial processes are removed by introducing a gas such as nitrogen into a turbulent flow of the heat transfer fluid and separating gas which then contains low-boiling constituents from the heat transfer fluid of the heat transfer system. The gas containing low-boiling constituents may be sent to a condenser to return heat transfer fluid which also vaporizes into the gas, but to a lesser extent than the low-boilers, to the heat transfer system. The gas containing low-boiling constituents is then combusted.

Abstract: 4-Vinylcyclohexene is converted to styrene in the presence of a catalyst comprising tin, antimony, and oxygen. The feed stream to be contacted with the catalyst comprises water, 4-vinylcyclohexene, and oxygen. A ratio of water to 4-vinylcyclohexene above about 12:1, preferably above about 14:1, significantly increases the half-life of the catalyst. The catalyst is prepared by coprecipitating a tin chloride and an antimony chloride followed by calcination of the precipitate at a temperature in the range from 850.degree. C. to 1000.degree. C.
