A process for the preparation of tertiary olefins by decomposition of a tertiary alkyl ether in the vapor phase in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the catalyst used is a composition of: (i) 5 to 95 percent by weight of a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a silica-to-alumina mole ratio of at least about 5 and a Constraint Index of about 1 to about 12, and (ii) 95 to 5 percent by weight of a binder selected from amorphous silica, alumina, silica-alumina and mixtures thereof.

Process for the preparation of tertiary olefins

A process of preparing acetic acid by reacting a mixture of a methyl ester, an alcohol, and water preferably as a solution in aqueous acetic acid, with carbon monoxide, with or without hydrogen, at a selected partial pressure, in the presence of a catalyst, preferably composed of a nickel or nickel/molybdenum compound with phosphorus compounds as ligands, and a promoter composed of iodine compounds, at a predetermined temperature is disclosed.
