Claims
- 1. The process of separating products obtained from the reaction of an oxide of carbon and hydrogen in a solvent containing homogeneous liquid phase mixture containing a catalytic amount of rhodium in complex combination with carbon monoxide which comprises volatilizing said products of the reaction from the mixture at a temperature lower than that which causes the carbon monoxide to react with product, solvent or hydrogen, at a temperature which ranges from about 50.degree. C. to about 300.degree. C., and at a pressure which ranges from about 0.001 to about 1000 atmospheres while simultaneously maintaining the mixture in contact with added carbon monoxide gas.
- 2. The process of claim 1 wherein the carbon monoxide gas is provided at the surface of said mixture while volatilizing products therefrom.
- 3. The process of claim 1 wherein the carbon monoxide gas is bubbled through the mixture while volatilizing products therefrom.
- 4. The process of claim 1 wherein products volatilized from the liquid homogeneous mixture are alcohols selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerine, methanol and mixtures thereof.
