ABSTRACT:
Isobutane is injected into a liquid mixture concurrently with the injection of an oxygen-containing gas. Molybdenum catalyst is present. The oxidation is selective for the formation of tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) so that the proportions of tertiary butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), acetone, methanol, carbon dioxide or other less desirable products are relatively low. The tertiary butyl hydroperoxide produced by the reaction and/or the di-tertiary butyl peroxide in the reaction mixture remain in the reaction mixture while continuously distilling a product stream rich in tertiary butyl alcohol and those components boiling below TBA. After appropriate processing, such product stream is utilized as a blending component for gasoline.
