Recently, **Energy Group Ningxia Coal Industry Co., Ltd. jointly with Sinopec Ningbo Engineering Company and Shanghai Jiao Tong University held a kick-off meeting for the project aimed at developing a 50,000 tons per year high-carbon alcohol process package. This marks the official entry of the integrated process technology for the hydroformylation of feroolefins to produce high-carbon alcohols, developed independently by the research institute, into the engineering design phase. Sinopec Ningbo Engineering Company is responsible for preparing the process package for this project, while Shanghai Jiao Tong University is tasked with developing the specialized reactors for carbonyl synthesis. The 50,000 tons per year high-carbon alcohol project is an important part of Ningxia Coal Industry Company’s industrial strategy. It will help to extend the coal-to-oil production chain and increase the variety of downstream products. By making full use of the advantages of coal-to-oil products, this project is expected to significantly enhance the company’s market competitiveness. The implementation of this project will further promote the development of the coal chemical industry in the direction of higher sophistication and precision. High-carbon alcohols generally refer to primary alcohols with six or more carbon atoms, and they are straight-chain alcohols with a high number of carbon atoms in which the hydroxyl group is located on one of the terminal carbon atoms. The market mainly includes detergent alcohols, plasticizer alcohols, and other products from the fine chemicals sector. Plasticizer alcohols of C7-C11 can be synthesized using C6-C10 α-olefins, while detergent alcohols of C13-C21 can be prepared via carbonylation using C12-C20 α-olefins. Currently, the plasticizer alcohols used in large quantities are 2-propylheptanol (2-PH) and isononyl alcohol (INA), with their main downstream application being in the production of a new generation of plasticizers. Esters synthesized from high-carbon alcohols such as 2-PH and INA are more safe and environmentally friendly. Detergent alcohols are important raw materials for surfactants, and are widely used in the production of detergents, softeners, disinfectants, solubilizers, and other products. Detergent alcohols are primarily used to synthesize three major downstream derivatives: alkyl polyoxyethylene ethers (AE), alkyl ethoxysulfates (AES), and alkyl sulfates (AS). The main production methods for synthesizing high-carbon alcohols include the carbonyl synthesis method, the Ziegler method, and the oxidation of n-alkanes. The primary raw materials for these processes are petroleum derivatives. With the development of coal chemistry, particularly indirect coal liquefaction, using oil products derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis as raw materials to produce high-carbon alcohols results in lower costs compared to the petrochemical industry. Given the abundance of Fischer-Tropsch oil products and their environmentally friendly nature, they offer significant competitive advantages in the fine chemicals industry.
