Abstract

The production of alcohols by the hydration of olefins in the presence of aqueous sulfuric acid is an important and widely used industrial process. Nevertheless, it suffers from several disadvan- tages, such as the corrosion of the apparatus, and the production of undesirable salts. The difficult handling problems associated with liquid acids can be partially obviated by solidifying the liquid acid such as phosphoric acid impregnated silica, or using organic ...
