The kinetics of hydroformylation of 1-decene has been investigated using a carbon-supported ossified HRh(CO)(TPPTS)(3)/Ba catalyst in a temperature range of 343-363 K. The effect of concentration of 1-decene, catalyst loading, partial pressure of H-2 and CO, and stirring speed on the reaction rate has been investigated. A first-order dependence was observed for catalyst concentration and hydrogen partial pressure. The rate showed a typical case of substrate inhibition for high 1-decene concentration. The rate varied with a linear dependence on P-CO up to a CO partial pressure of 5-6 MPa in contrast to the general trends; for most of the rhodium-phosphine catalyzed hydroformylation reactions, severe inhibition of rate is observed with an increase in CO pressure. A rate equation has been proposed, which was found to be in good agreement with the observed rate data within the limit of experimental errors. The kinetic parameters and activation energy values have been reported.
