Abstract

Active carbon supported cobalt catalyst was studied for the hydroformylation of 1-hexene in the presence of alcohol solvents at low pressure. The influence of various solvents on the hydroformylation and the CO conversion vs time on stream were investigated in detail. It was found that the heterogeneous catalyst shows excellent activity only in the alcohol solvents.
