Abstract
The invention relates to a catalytic process for carrying out multiphase reactions in a tubular reactor, with the catalyst being present in the continuous phase and at least one starting material in a disperse phase and the loading factor B of the tubular reactor being equal to or greater than 0.8. The process is especially suitable in particular for the hydroformylation of olefins. The aldehydes thus prepared can ideally be used for the preparation of alcohols, carboxylic acids or in aldol condensations.
Claims19
A process, comprising:
- carrying out a multiphase reaction catalytically in a tubular reactor, said multiphase reaction comprising a continuous phase and at least one disperse phase, wherein a catalyst is present in said continuous phase and wherein at least one starting material is present in said disperse phase, and wherein said tubular reactor comprises a loading factor, B, that is equal to or greater than 0.8, wherein said multiphase reaction comprises hydroformylating at least one olefin.
