Abstract
An ethylene gas generating liquid composition for catalytic conversion to ethylene. Ethanol is the primary ingredient of the liquid composition but there is also present 1.0% to 15% methanol, 0.1% to 10% of an ester such as amyl acetate and 0.1% to 15% of an aliphatic alcohol such as isopropanol. This liquid composition has been found to maintain a high conversion efficiency for the catalyst and minimizes the production of by-products.
