[0002] There are two production processes for butyl octanol. One is the croton condensation hydrogenation method using acetaldehyde as raw material, and the other is the low-pressure carbonyl synthesis method using propylene and synthesis gas as raw materials. This method is one of the most advanced technologies in the world today. At present, 70% of the world's butyl octanol is produced by the propylene method. It uses propylene and synthesis gas as raw materials to produce crude butyraldehyde through low-pressure carbonyl synthesis, and then obtains butyl octanol through butyraldehyde treatment, condensation, and hydrogenation reactions. The separation of normal and isobutyraldehyde is an important unit in the butyraldehyde processing system. Since the boiling points of normal and isobutyraldehyde differ by 11°C and are close to each other, separation is more difficult. Therefore, the distillation tower for separating normal and isobutyraldehyde generally requires a high tower, a large tower diameter, and many trays, resulting in insufficient processing capacity of the distillation tower for separating normal and isobutyraldehyde. In many cases, the normal and isobutyraldehyde separation unit is the bottleneck of the entire butyraldehyde production system.
