This report presents the economics of 2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) production from n-butyraldehyde. The process under analysis dehydrates n-butyraldehyde to obtain 2-ethylpropylacrolein, which is then hydrogenated to form the 2-Ethylhexanol. The economic assessment assumes a plant located in the United States.
This report presents the economics of 2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) production from propylene and syngas located in the United States. Initially, propylene reacts with syngas in a hydroformylation reaction, yielding n-butyraldehyde. This step uses a conventional OXO-alcohol technology. Then, the n-butyraldehyde is submitted to an aldolization, and is subsequently dehydrated to 2-ethylpropylacrolein (EPA). Finally, the EPA is hydrogenated, yielding 2-EH.
