EFFECT OF REACTION ENGINEERING FACTORS ON KINETICS AND NORMAL/ISOMERIC ALDEHYDE RATIO OF HYDROFORMYLATION OF 1-DODECENE
An orthogonal experiment design is adopted for studying the macroscopic reaction kinetics of hydroformylation of 1-dodecene catalyzed by water-soluble rhodium complex. The experimental data of reaction rate and n∶i aldehyde ratio are analysed by margin and variance analyses. The optimal hydroformylation reaction conditions are suggested by compromise of initial reaction rate and normal/isomeric ratio of product aldehyde.
