Hydroformylation in petroleum chemistry and organic synthesis: Implementation of the process and solving the problem of recycling homogeneous catalysts (Review)

Abstract

Methods for isolating and recycling homogeneous hydroformylation catalysts used in the industry and promising research works on the development of novel ligands and selection of solvent systems are surveyed. The role of membrane nanofiltration as one of the possible means of separating a homogeneous catalyst from the reaction mixture is specified.
