Evonik optimises production of plasticiser alcohols

摘要

Evonik Industries has announced that it will be able to produce the plasticiser alcohol - 2-propyl heptanol (2-PH) - much more efficiently at the Marl site in Germany. This is made possible by the development of a new ligand 'OxoPhos 64i'; ligands are important components of catalysts and essential for many large-scale processes. The new ligand makes the process more efficient and enables longer plant operation and less maintenance.
