In a process for producing an optically anisotropic carbonaceous pitch having a low softening point for the production of carbon material starting oil to be used is a tar-like substance which is a mixture of compounds not substantially containing chloroform insolubles but containing components having a boiling point of 540.degree. C. or more as principal components and consisting principally of carbon and hydrogen. The tar-like substance has a content of n-heptane insolubles of up to 1 wt % and contains an aromatic oil fraction and a resin fraction as the principal components of n-heptane soluble components. The aromatic carbon fraction, fa, is at least 0.7, the number-average molecular weight is up to 1,000 and the maximum molecular weight is up to 2,000 for each of the aromatic oil and resin fractions.

Process for producing optically anisotropic carbonaceous pitch

The invention relates to a process of producing a carbonyl compound by dehydrogenating a linear aliphatic alcohol of 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the gas phase in the presence of a solid catalyst comprising a ruthenium catalyst supported on a carrier such as zinc oxide or magnesium oxide.

Process for producing carbonyl compounds

This invention consists essentially in a method of removing oxygen from a gas containing an unsaturated hydrocarbon, which comprises contacting a gas containing an unsaturated hydrocarbon and oxygen with silver and/or gold, or a catalyst containing at least one of them, in the presence of hydrogen.
