400 Recycling Homogeneous Catalystscontamination <strong>of</strong> the product. This “heterogenized” homogeneous system canimprove the lifetime <strong>of</strong> organometallic catalysts by orders <strong>of</strong> magnitude.The Ruhrchemie/Rhône-Poulenc process is performed annually on a 600,000metric ton scale (18). In this process, propylene is hydr<strong>of</strong>ormylated to formbutyraldehyde. While the solubility <strong>of</strong> propylene in water (200 ppm) is sufficient forcatalysis, the technique cannot be extended to longer-chain olefins, such as 1-octene(
