PROCESS FOR THE REMOVAL OF CARBON MONOXIDE FROM ALPHA-OLEFINS AND SATURATED HYDROCARBONS

摘要

A process for removing carbon monoxide from a liquid hydrocarbon containing 0.5 to 5 ppm by moles of carbon monoxide, said hydrocarbon being selected from the group consisting of propylene, 1-butene, ethane, propane, butane and mixtures thereof, said process comprising contacting said hydrocarbon containing the carbon monoxide, at temperatures ranging from between 0.degree.C and 150.degree.C, with a catalyst system comprising a mixture or the reaction product or both of CuO and Cr2O3, the molar ratio of CuO to Cr2O3 being from 1:10 to 10:1.
