The invention relates to the technical field of
alcohol preparation through
aldehyde hydrogenation, in particular to a
butyraldehyde, valeraldehyde and 2-propyl
heptanal liquid-phase hydrogenation method and device, the device comprises a liquid-phase hydrogenation reactor,
butyraldehyde, valeraldehyde and PBA, the liquid-phase hydrogenation reactor comprises an inner core
pipe filled with a hydrogenation catalyst and an outer annular
bed, and the outer annular
bed is filled with a hydrogenation catalyst. The method is characterized in that
butyraldehyde, valeraldehyde and PBA generated by an
aldehyde-
aldehyde condensation reaction are respectively fed into a hydrogenation
system, the reactions of generating 2-propyl
heptanol through PBA hydrogenation, generating
butanol through butyraldehyde hydrogenation and generating pentanol through valeraldehyde hydrogenation are carried out in a
liquid phase, and the pressure is about 2.4 MPa. Compared with gas-phase hydrogenation in the prior art, the liquid-phase hydrogenation adopted in the method has the advantages that the
energy consumption is lower; the problem of
high energy consumption of
gas phase hydrogenation is solved.
