More Information
Summary:Systems and methods of recovering 2-ethyl hexanol from crude alcohol are disclosed. The crude alcohol originates from a reactor that produces 2-ethyl hexanol and is first distilled in a first distillation column The distillate from the first distillation column is then further distilled in a second distillation column. A side stream is drawn from the second distillation column and recycled to the reactor that produces 2-ethyl hexanol. The bottom stream from the second distillation column is mixed with the bottom stream from the first distillation column. The combined stream is further distilled in a third distillation column to produce a 2-ethyl hexanol product stream.
