Enhancement of Industrial Hydroformylation Processes by the Adoption of Rhodium-Based Catalyst: Part II
Part I of this article (1), which appeared in the July 2007 issue of Platinum Metals Review, described the substantial cost and technical benefits brought to the hydroformylation of propylene with carbon monoxide and hydrogen (an ‘oxo’reaction) by replacing the previous
high-pressure cobalt-catalysed technology with a low-pressure rhodium-based catalyst system (the LP Oxo
SM
Process). The background to the rhodium process and its development to the point of first commercialisation were reviewed. This article (Part II) covers some of the improvements
made to the LP Oxo
SM
Process after the early plants started operation, and its uses in non-propylene applications.
