Summary:USE OF SUPPORTED RHODIUM CATALYSTS IN THE PREPARATION OF TERTIARY BUTYL ALCOHOL FROM TERTIARY BUTYL HYDROPEROXIDE (Docket No. 81,187 -F) A method for preparing tertiary butyl alcohol wherein feedstock comprising a solvent solution of tertiary butyl hydroperoxide in tertiary butyl alcohol or a mixture of tertiary butyl alcohol with isobutane is charged to a hydroperoxide decomposition reaction zone containing a catalytically effective amount of a hydroperoxide decomposition catalyst consisting essentially of alumina or carbon having rhodium deposited thereon and is brought into contact with the catalyst in liquid phase under hydroperoxide decomposition reaction conditions to convert the tertiary butyl hydroperoxide to decomposition products, principally tertiary butyl alcohol.
