n-butanol and iso-butanol are commonly produced by the hydrogenation of n-butyraldehyde and iso-butyraldehyde employing the patented copper catalyst accommodated in the reactors in series. The main cause of the lower n-butanol and iso-butanol yield was due to the catalyst blockage rendering a pressu...
