Abstract: In a process for producing olefins by a metathesis reaction comprising feeding an olefin gas to pass the olefin through a catalyst bed in the presence of hydrogen gas to convert the olefin into another kind of olefin, the catalyst bed having a catalyst including at least one metal selected from the group consisting of tungsten, molybdenum, rhenium, niobium, tantalum and vanadium, and a co-catalyst including a basic compound having at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Group Ia (alkali metals), Group IIa (alkaline earth metals), Group IIb and Group IIIa of the periodic table, the improvement lies in controlling the superficial velocity of the gas passing through the catalyst bed to 0.01 to 2.0 m/sec. According to the present invention, the presence of hydrogen gas dramatically increases the durability of the metathesis catalytic activity and the by-production of paraffins is suppressed.

Abstract: A deodorizing coating formulation is composed of a white or substantially colorless deodorizing agent, a binder resin and a liquid medium. The deodorizing agent may preferably be composed of 10-90 parts by weight of a zinc compound and 90-10 parts by weight of an aliphatic polycarboxylic acid, aromatic polycarboxylic acid, acidic polymer or a sulfate of aluminum, or a salt thereof. A deodorizing sheet can be obtained by coating and/or impregnating a base sheet with the deodorizing coating formulation and then drying the resulting base sheet. The deodorizing sheet can shield a flavor or odor from external flavors or odors while maintaining air permeability, it is suitable for wrapping foods having strong flavors or odors.
