Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of mono hydric alcohols from olefins which comprises contacting a monoolefin having two to four carbon atoms with an aqueous solution containing silicotungstic radicals at a concentration higher than a molar concentration of 1/40,000 but not exceeding the saturation concentration and having a pH of 2.0 to 4.5, at an elevated temperature sufficient to initiate the hydration of said olefin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
43 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said contact of the alkene with the aqueous solution containing silicotungstic radicals is effected at a reaction temperature of 150* to 370*C. and under a pressure not lower than the saturated vapor pressure at said reaction temperature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the contact of said olefin with the aqueous solution containing silicotungstic radicals is effected at a temperature of 170*C to 350*C. and under a pressure of 100 to 500 Kg/cm2.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process as of claim 1 wherein the aqueous solution containing silicotungstic radicals is an aqueous solution of silicotungstic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the aqueous solution containing silicotungstic radicals is an aqueous solution of a water-soluble acid silicotungstate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
The process of claim 5 wherein the aqueous solution of a water-soluble acid silicotungstate is an aqueous solution of an acid silicotungstate of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium, lithium, magnesium, calcium, barium, zinc and aluminum.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said alkene is ethylene and ethanol is prepared as the product.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said alkene is propylene and isopropanol is prepared as the product.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
