Abstract
This invention relates to a process for the production of a mixture of detergent-range alcohols having an average of between 8 and 20 carbon atoms per molecule. The process includes the steps of providing a hydrocarbon stream containing olefins and paraffins in which more than 5% by volume of olefin molecules in the hydrocarbon stream have a total number of carbon atoms which is different from the total number of carbon atoms of the most abundant two carbon numbers of olefins in the hydrocarbon stream; reacting the hydrocarbon stream with CO and an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst in a hydroesterification reaction to form a hydrocarbon stream containing esters and paraffins; separating esters from the hydrocarbon stream containing esters and paraffins; and subjecting the esters to a hydrogenation reaction to provide the mixed alcohol product.
