Isononanol Production from Octenes (Rhodium Catalyst)
This report presents an economic study of Isononanol production from octenes in the presence of a rhodium catalyst. It assumes a plant located in the United States using a process similar to Johnson Matthey OXO alcohols process. Initially, octenes are submitted to hydroformylation to form the respectives C9 aldehydes. The aldehydes are then hydrogenated to the corresponding C9 alcohols.

Isononanol Production from Octenes (Cobalt Catalyst)
In this report, the economics of Isononanol production from octenes is analyzed based on a typical cobalt catalyst process, assuming a plant located in the United States. Initially, octenes are submitted to hydroformylation to form the respectives C9 aldehydes. The aldehydes are then hydrogenated to the corresponding C9 alcohols.
