Abstract
Conversion, e.g. dehydration of aliphatic organic oxygenates having up to about 6 carbon atoms by contact with a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite, preferably ZSM-5, having a silica to alumina ratio substantially greater than 10, at a temperature of about 70.degree. to 1400.degree. F., depending upon the exact nature of the reactant and product.
Claims2
A process for effecting dehydration of an aliphatic alcohol havving up to 6 carbon atoms which comprises contacting the same at a temperature of 70.degree. to 1400.degree. F. with a catalyst comprising highly siliceous crystals having a structure corresponding to the X-ray diffraction pattern set forth in Table B.
