The invention provides a method for judging the inactivation temperature and the inactivation characteristic of a
hydroformylation catalyst. The method comprises the following steps: S1, preparing a
hydroformylation reaction solution; s2, measuring the reaction liquid, filling the reaction liquid into an adiabatic test instrument to simulate a
hydroformylation reaction, and when the temperature is increased to T0, stopping heating and carrying out an adiabatic reaction; recording the temperature change, and obtaining the highest temperature Tm; s3, cooling the test ball, taking out half of a reaction material, adding a hydroformylation reaction
raw material, heating to simulate a hydroformylation reaction, stopping heating when the temperature is increased to T1, carrying out an adiabatic reaction, and recording the highest temperature Tmf; s4, comparing T1, Tm and Tmf; if Tmf is equal to T1, the inactivation temperature of the catalyst is Tm, and irreversible inactivation is carried out; if Tmf is equal to Tm, the inactivation temperature of the catalyst is Tm, and reversible inactivation is carried out; if Tmfgt; and Tm, taking out the material in the test ball, and repeating the steps S2-S4. The judgment method disclosed by the invention is short in test period and high in safety, does not need separation and
component analysis on a
test sample, and has guiding significance on catalyst operation upper limit and homogeneous catalyst
recovery temperature selection research.
