An improved process for the production of a gas mixture containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide by endothermal partial oxidization of an organic compound with steam and/or carbon dioxide is disclosed wherein at least a portion of the heat required for the partial oxidation is obtained by direct heat exchange with products obtained from the gasification of a carbonaceous ash-forming fuel with oxygen in the presence of steam.

Process for the production of gas mixtures containing hydrogen and

An improvement in a process of forming an aldehyde or alcohol by the Oxo process wherein an olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon is reacted with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a group VIII B catalyst which improvement involves introducing the olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon, hydrogen and carbon monoxide together with the catalyst into the bottom of a first reaction zone, allowing the reactants to rise in said reaction zone, passing liquid reactants from the top of said first reaction zone into the top of a second reaction zone, withdrawing liquid reaction mixture from the bottom of the second reaction zone and withdrawing gaseous reactants from the second reaction zone.
