ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a process for removing peroxide impurities contained in a tertiary butyl alcohol feedstock. The process involves contacting the feedstock with an iron (II) compound such as iron (II) chloride, under an inert atmosphere at elevated pressures and temperatures for a time sufficient to reduce the peroxides to alcohols and oxidize the iron (II) to iron (III). The iron (II) compound may be added in a homogeneous phase or it may be deposited on a support. When the iron (II) is added as a homogeneous phase, it is separated from the product by contacting the mixture with a cation exchange column. Finally, when a supported iron (II) compound is used, the process may be run in a batch or continuous mode.
