Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical production equipment, and in particular relates to a production device for hydroformylation reaction. Background Technology
[0002] Hydroformylation, also known as carbonyl synthesis, is an organic chemical reaction in which an olefin reacts with carbon monoxide and hydrogen under the action of a catalyst to produce an aldehyde with one more carbon atom than the starting olefin. Hydroformylation is an important organic synthesis technique, mainly used to prepare long-chain aldehydes. This reaction has advantages such as high atom economy, good selectivity, and easy further conversion of the product, and has wide applications in petrochemicals, fine chemicals, and other fields. In recent years, with the rapid development of the chemical industry and the increasing environmental protection requirements, the research and application of hydroformylation have received increasing attention.
[0003] Homogeneous catalysis allows for sufficient contact between the substrate and catalyst, resulting in high catalytic efficiency. Developing homogeneous catalytic systems and low-pressure synthesis processes is a crucial research direction in hydroformylation. However, separating the catalyst from the reaction liquid in homogeneous catalytic systems remains challenging. Currently, industrial processes still rely on distillation to separate the catalyst. For example, patent CN115028520A discloses a method and apparatus for separating hydroformylation reaction products, which uses a five-stage distillation column to separate the reaction liquid, thereby achieving the separation of light and heavy components. Multi-stage distillation columns can effectively separate aldehydes, alcohols, heavy oils, and phosphorus-containing heavy substances, improving product recovery rates. However, they consume a lot of energy, and the catalyst is prone to deactivation during distillation. Therefore, separating the catalyst from the substrate remains a challenge in homogeneous reactions. Utility Model Content
