    Assignee: Petro-Tex Chemical Corporation
    Inventors: Alfio J. Besozzi, Alan W. Foster
  • Process for producing haloprene
    Patent number: 4132741
    Abstract: Process for producing halogenated butadienes by the dehydrohalogenation of a dihalobutene in the presence of caustic and an anionic surface active agent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 21, 1974
    Date of Patent: January 2, 1979

  • Carbonyl removal from gaseous streams using ZnS
    Patent number: 4083887
    Abstract: Gaseous streams containing carbonyl compounds have the carbonyl content reduced by contacting the gaseous streams with a catalyst of ZnS. Reactor effluent from an oxidative dehydrogenation reaction to produce butadiene-1,3, is contacted with ZnS to remove carbonyl compounds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 1976
    Date of Patent: April 11, 1978
    Assignee: Petro-Tex Chemical Corporation
    Inventors: Alan W. Foster, Alfio J. Besozzi
  • Purification of unsaturated compounds
    Patent number: 4075256
    Abstract: Gaseous streams containing carbonyl compounds have the carbonyl content reduced by contacting the gaseous streams with a catalyst of calcium aluminate or calcium aluminate and Ca.sub.2 SiO.sub.4. Reactor effluent from an oxidative dehydrogenation reaction to produce butadiene-1,3 is contacted with calcium aluminate or calcium aluminate and Ca.sub.2 SiO.sub.4 catalyst to remove carbonyl compounds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 1976
    Date of Patent: February 21, 1978
    Assignee: Petro-Tex Chemical Corporation
    Inventors: Alan W. Foster, Alfio J. Besozzi
  • Purification of unsaturated compounds
    Patent number: 4044067
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 1975
    Date of Patent: August 23, 1977
    Assignee: Petro-Tex Chemical Corporation
