Title:
PLASTICISER ALCOHOL AND PRODUCTION IMPROVEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/141164
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A process using controlled oxonation and hydrogenation conditions is disclosed for the production of alcohols containing low amounts of methyl esters. The process for the production ofa C6-C15 alcohol mixture comprising the steps of a. hydroformylating an olefin mixture comprising a branched C5-C14 olefin to form a hydroformylation product comprising aldehydes and formate esters, whereby the hydroformylation product has a net cold sap number in the range of 15 to 38 mg KOH/g, and b. converting the aldehydes and formate esters to alcohols in a hydrogenation step comprising at least one first hydrogenation reactor comprising a fixed bed of a heterogeneous sulphided bimetallic catalyst, optionally followed by at least one second hydrogenation reactor connected downstream of the first hydrogenation reactor, c. wherein the feed to the hydrogenation step (b) is a liquid comprising at least a portion of the aldehydes and formate esters formed m step (a) and at least 2 % water by weight, based on the liquid hydrogenation feed, and wherein the temperature in the first hydrogenation reactor is at most 200°C, preferably in the range of from 150 to 200°C.
