Technology Type

Type: Olefin Metathesis
Process: Olefin processes
Abbreviation
Description: Olefin Metathesis is an Organic Reaction that entails the redistribution of fragments of Alkenes (Olefins) by the Scission and Regeneration of Carbon-Carbon Double Bonds. Because of the relative simplicity of Olefin Metathesis, it often creates fewer undesired By-Products and Hazardous Wastes than alternative Organic Reactions. Almost all commercial applications employ Heterogeneous Catalysts.
