Abstract
Abstract A process for manufacturing alcohols by oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons containing five-eight carbon atoms per molecule, in the liquid phase, by means of molecular oxygen, in the presence of a boron compound, wherein the oxidation product is successively hydrolyzed, saponified and distilled, said process comprising vaporizing a part of the unconverted hydrocarbon contained in the said oxidation product, before saponification, and thereafter treating the vaporized hydrocarbon by means of mineral base and finally recycling said hydrocarbon to the oxidation zone.
