Non-catalytic process for the conversion of a hydrocarbonaceous stream containing halogenated organic compounds

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5496431
This patent describes a non-catalytic process for the conversion of a hydrocarbonaceous stream containing less than about 5 weight percent halogenated organic compounds. The process consists essentially of: (a) reacting the hydrocarbonaceous stream in the presence of hydrogen in a reaction zone at reaction conditions including an elevated temperature selected to hydrogenate at least a portion of the halogenated organic compounds; (b) contacting the reaction zone effluent with an aqueous scrubbing solution; and (c) introducing a resulting admixture of the reaction zone effluent and the aqueous scrubbing solutions into a separation zone to provide a hydrocarbonaceous product stream containing lower halogen content and a spent aqueous stream.
