The Exxon process, also Kuhlmann- or PCUK – oxo process, is used for the hydroformylation of C6–C12 olefins. The process relies on cobalt catalysts. In order to recover the catalyst, an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution or sodium carbonate is added to the organic phase.
In 1953 evidence was disclosed that it is the active catalyst for the conversion of alkenes, CO, and H 2 to aldehydes, a process known as hydroformylation (oxo reaction). [12] Although the use of cobalt-based hydroformylation has since been largely superseded by rhodium-based catalysts, the world output of C 3 –C 18 aldehydes produced by ...
N-Methylmorpholine N-oxide (more correctly 4-methylmorpholine 4-oxide), NMO or NMMO is an organic compound.This heterocyclic amine oxide and morpholine derivative is used in organic chemistry as a co-oxidant and sacrificial catalyst in oxidation reactions for instance in osmium tetroxide oxidations and the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation or oxidations with TPAP. [1]
Long chain oxo-alcohols are often prepared using alpha-olefins from the Shell higher olefin process, to give secondary alcohols such as isodecyl alcohol. [2] Key oxo alcohols that are sold in commerce include the following: 2-Methyl-2-butanol (2M2B) n-Butanol; 2-Ethylhexanol; 2-Propylheptanol; Isononyl alcohol; Isodecyl alcohol
The propane dehydrogenation process may be accomplished through different commercial technologies. The main differences between each of them concerns the catalyst employed, design of the reactor and strategies to achieve higher conversion rates. [1] Olefins are useful precursors to myriad products. Steam cracking is the core technology that ...
MEKP is a colorless oily liquid. It is widely used in vulcanization (crosslinking) of polymers. [3] It is derived from the reaction of methyl ethyl ketone and hydrogen peroxide under acidic conditions. Several products result from this reaction including a cyclic dimer. [4] The linear dimer, the topic of this article, is the most prevalent.
Andrussow process: platinum (heterogeneous) hydrogen cyanide: basic chemicals, gold mining extractant ethylene: epoxidation: mixed Ag oxides (heterogeneous) ethylene oxide: basic chemicals, surfactants cyclohexane: K-A process: Co and Mn salts (homogeneous) cyclohexanol cyclohexanone: nylon precursor ethylene: Wacker process: Pd and Cu salts ...
A lot of research has been done on the catalyst used in the ammonia process, but the main catalyst that is used today is not that dissimilar to the one that was first developed. The catalyst the industry use is a promoted iron catalyst, where the promoters can be K 2 O ( potassium oxide ), Al 2 O 3 ( aluminium oxide ) and CaO ( calcium oxide ...
