Abstract:BACKGROUND
The reaction integration of butanal self‐condensation and successive hydrogenation (that is, one‐step synthesis of 2‐ethylhexanol from butanal) is an efficiency way to simply process flow and reduce energy consumption for the commercial manufacture of 2‐ethylhexanol (2EHO). In the present work, a NiO‐MnO2/Nb2O5‐TiO2 catalyst was prepared for the integration reaction to reach a high 2‐ethylhexanol selectivity. Furthermore, the reaction integration was investigated kinetically for the next scale‐up.
