A process for the hydroformylation of an olefin, which comprises hydroformylating an olefinic compound by reacting it with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in a hydroformylation reaction zone in the presence of a catalyst solution containing rhodium and an oxide of an organic trivalent phosphorus compound to form an aldehyde having a carbon number larger by one than that of the olefinic compound; adding an organic trivalent phosphorus compound to the reaction mixture, followed by distillation to separate a distillate containing the aldehyde from a high-boiling residue containing rhodium; oxidizing the high-boiling residue at the same time as or subsequent to the distillation to convert the organic trivalent phosphorus compound to its oxide; and recycling the oxidized residue to the hydroformylation reaction zone as a recycling catalyst solution, wherein the hydroformylation reaction is conducted under a condition such that the proportion of an alcohol content supplied as contained in the recycling catalyst solution is maintained at a level of not higher than 14% by weight based on the total amount of the olefinic compound and the catalyst solution supplied to the hydroformylation reaction zone.
一种烯烃的加氢甲酰化工艺,包括在含有铑和有机三价磷化合物氧化物的催化剂溶液存在下,在加氢甲酰化反应区使烯烃化合物与一氧化碳和氢气反应,生成碳原子数比烯烃化合物大 1 的醛,从而使烯烃化合物加氢甲酰化;向反应混合物中加入有机三价磷化合物,然后进行蒸馏,从含有铑的高沸点残渣中分离出含有醛的蒸馏物;在蒸馏的同时或之后氧化高沸点残留物,将有机三价磷化合物转化为其氧化物;以及 将氧化残留物作为循环催化剂溶液循环到加氢甲酰化反应区,其中加氢甲酰化反应是在这样的条件下进行的:根据提供给加氢甲酰化反应区的烯烃化合物和催化剂溶液的总量,循环催化剂溶液中所含的醇含量比例保持在不高于 14% (按重量计)的水平。
