Abstract
Hydrocarbon fraction containing diolefins and .alpha.-acetylenes are treated with an alkali amide to reduce the .alpha.-acetylene content.
Claims7
A method of reducing the .alpha.-acetylene content of a hydrocarbon fraction which comprises a diolefin containing 4 to 8 carbon atoms and small amounts of .alpha.-acetylenes by contacting said hydrocarbon fraction with alkali metal amide dispersed on a support to reduce the .alpha.-acetylene content, separating the fraction from support and treating the fraction separated from the support to remove ammonia generated as fraction contacts the alkali metal amide.
