| 摘要 |
A liquid output from a continuous hydroformylation, which comprises essentially aldehydes, high-boiling by-products, a homogeneously dissolved hydroformylation catalyst, unreacted olefins, low-boiling by-products and dissolved synthesis gas, is worked up by a process in which a) the liquid hydroformylation output is depressurized in a first depressurization stage to a pressure which is from 2 to 20 bar below the reactor pressure, resulting in separation into a liquid phase and a gas phase, and b) the liquid phase obtained in the first depressurization stage is depressurized in a second depressurization stage to a pressure which is lower than the pressure of the first depressurization stage, resulting in separation into a liquid phase comprising essentially high-boiling by-products of the hydroformylation, the homogeneously dissolved hydroformylation catalyst and small amounts of hydroformylation product and unreacted olefin and a gas phase comprising essentially the major part of the hydroformylation product, unreacted olefin and low-boiling by-products. |
