Disclosed is a process for reducing the emission of volatile organic compounds that are produced during the ketonization of carboxylic acids to ketones. The ketonization of carboxylic acids produces a gaseous by-product stream containing carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds. This gaseous by-product stream can be fed to a direct-fired furnace used to heat the ketonization reaction feed streams where the volatile organic compounds are destroyed by combustion in the furnace. The carbon dioxide stream further acts as a diluent for the fuel to the furnace.

羧酸酯化制备酮过程中产生的挥发性有机化合物排放的方法。
羧酸酯化产生的酮产物含有
二氧化碳和挥发性有机化合物的气态副产物流。这种气态副产物流可以被送入用于加热酮化反应进料流的直接燃烧炉中,挥发性有机化合物在炉内被燃烧销毁。
二氧化碳流进一步作为燃料对炉子的稀释剂。
