摘要 |
The present invention relates to a catalytic chemical reaction process, wherein the chemical reaction process is performed in a process stream comprising at least 50 wt % organic compounds, a homogeneous catalyst based upon cobalt, nickel or iron, and a degradation product of the homogeneous catalyst comprising a solid possessing ferromagnetic properties, wherein the chemical reaction occurs in at least one reaction zone and a product stream is separated from the process stream in at least one separation zone, and wherein one or more magnetic filters are employed to remove at least a portion of the solid possessing ferromagnetic properties from the process stream without removal or deactivation of the homogeneous catalyst present in the process stream. |
