Hydration of olefins in the presence of a solvent

Claim 2

IN A PROCESS FOR THE HYDRATION WITH WATER OVER A SOLID HYDRATION CATALYST OF AN OLEFIN SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF C4 OLEFINS, C5 OLEFINS, C6 OLEFINS AND C7 OLEFINS TO FORM A CORRESPONDING PRODUCT ALCOHOL IN THE LIQUID STATE, THE IMPROVEMENT OF MAINTAINING BOTH SAID OLEFIN AND SAID WATER REACTANTS IN THE LIQUID STATE, REACTING SAID OLEFIN AND SAID WATER IN THE PRESENCE OF A SOLVENT OTHER THAN PRODUCT ALCOHOL, SAID SOLVENT BEING IN THE LIQUID STATE AND BEING MISCIBLE WITH THE REACTANTS TO FORM SOLVENT CONTAINING SOLUTION, SAID SOLBENT INCREASING THE SOLUBITLITY OF PRODUCT ALCOHOL, SAID SLOVENT MAINTAINING SAID LIQUID OLEFIN AND SAID LIQUID WATER IN SEPARATE LIQUID PHASES, SAID PHASES IN THE PRESENCE OF SAID SOLVENT BEING INSOLUBLE IN EACH OTHER SO THAT SAID WATER PHASE IS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF OLEFIN.

Claim 3

IN A PROCESS FOR THE HYDRATION WITH WATER OVER A SOLID HYDRATION CATALYST OF A FIRST OLEFIN SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF C4 OLEFINS, C5 OLEFINS, C6 OLEFINS AND C7 OLEFINS TO FORM A CORRESPONDING FIRST ALCOHOL IN THE LIQUID STATE, THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISING MAINTAINING BOTH SAID FIRST OLEFIN AND SAID WATER RACTANTS IN THE LIQUID BOTH SAID FIRST OLEFIN AND SAID WATER REACTANTS IN THE LIQUID STATE, CONDUCTING SAID HYDRATION IN THE PRESENCE OF A SECOND OLEFIN SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF C2, C3 AND ISO-C4 OLEFINS TO PRODUCE A CORRESPONDDING SECOND ALCOHOL OTHER THAN SAID FIRST ALCOHOL, SAID SECOND ALCOHOL BEING IN THE LIQUID STATE AND BEING MISCIBLE WITH SAID FIRST OLEFIN REACTANT AND SAID WATER REACTANT TO FORM A SECOND ALCOHOL CONTAINING SOLUTION WITH SAID FIRST OLEFIN REACTANT AND A SEPARATE SECOND ALCOHOL CONTAINING SOLUTIONN WITH SAID WATER FOR INCREASING THE SOLUBILITY OF SAID FIRST ALCOHOL IN SAID FIRST OLEFIN REACTANT AND IN SAID WATER REACTANT, SAID SEOND ALCOHOL MAINTAINING SAID FIRST OLEFIN AND SAID WATER IN SEPARATE LIQUID PHASES SO THAT THE FIRST OLEFIN PHASE IS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF WATER AND THE WATER PHASE IS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF SAID FIRST OLEFIN.

Claim 4

IN A PROCESS FOR THE HYDRATION WITH WATER OVER A SOLID HYDRATION CATALYST OF A FIRST OLEFIN SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF C4 OLEFINS, C5 OLEFINS, C6 OLEFINS AND C7 OLEFINS TO FORM A CORRESPONDING FIRST ALCOHOL IN THE LIQUID STATE, THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISING MAINTAINING BOTH SAID FIRST OLEFIN AND SAID WATER RACTANTS IN THE LIQUID BOTH SAID FIRST OLEFIN AND SAID WATER REACTANTS IN THE LIQUID STATE, CONDUCTING SAID HYDRATION IN THE PRESENCE OF A SECOND OLEFIN SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF C2, C3 AND ISO-C4 OLEFINS TO PRODUCE A CORRESPONDDING SECOND ALCOHOL OTHER THAN SAID FIRST ALCOHOL, SAID SECOND ALCOHOL BEING IN THE LIQUID STATE AND BEING MISCIBLE WITH SAID FIRST OLEFIN REACTANT AND SAID WATER REACTANT TO FORM A SECOND ALCOHOL CONTAINING SOLUTION WITH SAID FIRST OLEFIN REACTANT AND A SEPARATE SECOND ALCOHOL CONTAINING SOLUTIONN WITH SAID WATER FOR INCREASING THE SOLUBILITY OF SAID FIRST ALCOHOL IN SAID FIRST OLEFIN REACTANT AND IN SAID WATER REACTANT, SAID SEOND ALCOHOL MAINTAINING SAID FIRST OLEFIN AND SAID WATER IN SEPARATE LIQUID PHASES SO THAT THE FIRST OLEFIN PHASE IS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF WATER AND THE WATER PHASE IS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF SAID FIRST OLEFIN.
