Process for alkoxycarbonylation of ethylenically unsaturated compounds using benzene-based diphosphine ligands and aluminium triflate.

Process for alkoxycarbonylation of ethylenically unsaturated compounds using benzene-based diphosphine ligands and aluminium triflate

An apparatus, for automated sampling from vessels that may be under a high pressure, is achieved by a specific construction with multiple multiport valves. A method of automated sampling can be used with the apparatus.

Automated sampling

A process for preparing Caldehydes involves hydroformylation of butenes with synthesis gas in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst system and a solvent. It is a feature of the process that the aldehyde concentration in the reaction mixture is limited.

Process for preparing Caldehydes

A process can be used for preparing aldehydes from C2 to C20 olefins with a subsequent thermal separation for removal of the aldehyde formed. The process involves a membrane separation, which is preceded by performance of a gas exchange by which the proportion of the partial pressure represented by carbon monoxide or hydrogen is increased in order to reduce catalyst losses.

Optimized thermal separation by prior gas exchange

A process for preparing aldehydes by a homogeneously catalysed hydroformylation of Cto Colefins involves withdrawing a biphasic stream (liquid/gaseous) and expanding in two stages. Before, between, or after the two stages, the liquid phase is cooled. Only after expansion and cooling is the homogeneously dissolved rhodium catalyst system separated from the residual stream.

Process for preparing aldehydes and cooling a stream of matter

A process for preparing aldehydes by a homogeneously catalyzed hydroformylation of Cto Colefins involves withdrawing a biphasic stream (liquid/gaseous) and expanding in two stages. Before, between, or after the two stages, the liquid phase is cooled. Only after expansion and cooling is the homogeneously dissolved rhodium catalyst system separated from the residual stream in a three-stage removal.

The present invention provides a process for preparing aldehydes from C2 to C20 olefins using a subsequent membrane separation to separate the homogeneously dissolved catalyst system, wherein prior to the membrane separation a gas exchange that increases the partial pressure fraction of carbon monoxide or hydrogen is carried out in order to boost catalyst retention by the membrane.
