Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of n-Butanol production from propylene and syngas. The process examined is similar to the technology jointly developed by Rhodia (former Rhône-Poulenc) and Ruhrchemie. This process relies on a water-soluble rhodium catalyst for the hydroformylation of propylene to form n-butyraldehyde and isobutyraldehyde. The isobutyraldehyde is separated as a by-product and the n-butyraldehyde is hydrogenated to form n-Butanol as the final product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Oxo Alcohol, Butyl Alcohol, n-Butanol, Rhodia, Rhône-Poulenc, Ruhrchemie
