- a suitable mixture for the hydroformylation and / or propanol production can be produced with high efficiency.
- a hydroformylation reaction a reaction for the production of propanol, or a hydrocarboxylation reaction can be carried out in the apparatus according to the invention, the first reactor not being particularly limited here.
- the devices according to the invention can comprise at least one heat conduction which is designed to supply waste heat from the electrolysis of CO 2 to the first reactor.
- a corresponding heat conduction can also provide waste heat from other electrolysis devices, such as a CO and / or H 2 0 electrolysis.
- Such heat conduction can also be used to supply waste heat to a second reactor for conversion. tion of propanol and / or propionaldehyde be provided to propionic acid.
- the heat pipes are not particularly limited. Instead of heat pipes, a direct contact between a respective (first, second and / or third) electrolysis device and a respective (first and / or second) reactor may be provided.
- the devices of the invention comprise a second reactor for reacting propanol and / or propionaldehyde to propionic acid, which is designed to propanol and / or propionaldehyde to
- this reactor is not particularly limited insofar as it permits the corresponding reaction, for example, oxidation.
- the inventive method can be carried out.
- the respective electrolysis devices and reactors correspond, for example, to those mentioned in connection with the process according to the invention.
- the device according to the invention may comprise further constituents which are present in an electrolysis plant or electrolysis device, that is to say in addition to the current source for the electrolysis various cooling and / or heating devices , etc., as well as constituents of a reactor such as cooling and / or heating devices, as well as connections between the electrolysis devices and reactors, for example in the form of tubes, etc.
- these other components of the device such as an electrolysis system, are not limited and may be suitably provided.
- the present invention provides a highly integrated, ener ⁇ tically tuned process for the preparation of
- Propionaldehyde and propionic acid without fossil fuels and high-temperature processes ready. Since all required components can be generated electrochemically from CO2, the process is independent of fossil carbon sources. The energy input is also mainly concentrated in the electrochemical steps, which significantly increases the energy efficiency. Last but not least is obtained from the energy and worthless Cl component of CO2 jeseiti ⁇ ger C3 block. An Etyhlen / CO / H 2 mixture would not be salable without costly separation, while the C3 derivatives from the combined process, constitute a directly salable product.
