Abstract: Processes for removing carbon disulfide from product streams containing a sulfide compound are performed by contacting the product stream with an aqueous solution comprising a mercaptide to form a mixture, or by contacting the product stream with an aqueous solution comprising a mercaptan and a base to form a mixture. An aqueous layer is removed from the mixture, resulting in a high purity sulfide stream with significantly less carbon disulfide.

Abstract: Processes for converting ethane into ethylene include the steps of subjecting a water feed stream to electrolysis to form O2 and H2, subjecting a mixture of ethane and O2 to oxidative dehydrogenation to form a reaction product containing ethylene, acetic acid, water, and CO/CO2, separating the reaction product into an ethylene product stream, an acetic acid product stream, a water product stream, and a gas stream containing CO/CO2, and introducing the water product stream into the water feed stream for electrolysis. The ethylene product stream can be contacted with a suitable polymerization or oligomerization catalyst composition to produce ethylene polymers or ethylene oligomers.
