Expanding on what Jim said, you don't usually need to convert the keys of a
map into a set, because the map pretty much acts like a set of its keys if
you use contains?

For example, (contains? {:a 1, :b 2} :a) tests whether :a is among the set
of keys in the map.

I believe that clojure.set's union, intersection, and difference all work
out of the box on maps (acting as if they are sets of keys), but you should
do some testing and/or inspection of the source code to verify this,
especially on maps with nil or false values.
