Process Design for Hydroformylating Octenes at the University of Kansas 

Xie and Subramaniam investigated theoretical options for a rhodium-based process for octenes. Their goal was a process that, when compared to cobalt-based processes, would be particularly efficient in terms of reaction technology and catalyst recycling [16]. Another process design requirement was a significantly lower investment cost than that of conventional cobalt-based processes.
