Process for the hydroformylation of olefins by reducing the formic acid concentration

The present invention is a process for preparing C 4-25 aldehydes by hydroformylating the corresponding C 3-24 olefins in the presence of a cobalt hydroformylation catalyst, and catalytically decomposing the formic acid formed in the hydroformylation reaction or in the subsequent catalyst work-up.

Zusammenfassung:The present invention is a process for preparing C 4-25 aldehydes by hydroformylating the corresponding C 3-24 olefins in the presence of a cobalt hydroformylation catalyst, and catalytically decomposing the formic acid formed in the hydroformylation reaction or in the subsequent catalyst work-up. The aldehydes so produced may be hydrogenated to form alcohols.
