Title: Hydrogenation of Butanal
Post by: Julianhunt on January 28, 2008, 06:45:55 PM

Hello,

        Need to do my design project. I have the kinetic of my catalyst to produce Butanol from Butanal and H2 but dont have the catalyst. Do you know which catalyst might be used in Industrial scale?
 
        Do I need a special steal for the reactor as it has H2 at 18 bar and 250 C?

    Thanks

  Julian
