PRODUCTION OF LONG-CHAIN OLEFIN AND (POLY)ALKYLENE GLYCOL MONO-HIGHER ALKYL ETHER AND CATALYST USED THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a long-chain olefin at a high reactional rate in high selectivity and high yield by carrying out the eliminating reaction of a higher alcohol by using a crystalline metallosilicate as a catalyst. SOLUTION: The eliminating reaction of a higher alcohol or an alkylene or a polyalkylene glycol mono-higher alkyl ether is carried out by using a crystalline metallosilicate such as a BEA type metallosilicate as a catalyst to industrially and advantageously afford the objective longchain olefin.
