Pickering-emulsions (PEs) are particle stabilized emulsions. PEs can be used for catalytic reactions, for example for the hydroformylation of long chained olefins in a water in oil (w/o-) emulsion. In this study, the water droplets (water phase) which are surrounded by SiO2-nanoparticles as stabilizer, contain [HRh(CO)(TPPTS)3] as homogeneous catalyst. The particle-stabilized water droplets are emulsified in 1-Dodecene (oil phase). After the hydroformylation, the water droplets with the expensive catalyst can be easily separated from the product by membrane filtration and used again for the next reactions. This is a huge advantage in comparison to surfactant stabilized emulsions, which often break during filtration processes. Preliminary experiments showed that an increase in the amount of SiO2-nanoparticles leads to an increase of the product yield (Tridecanal) and decreases the droplet size from 0.02 to 0.005 mm. An addition of surfactant (Triton X-100) at low concentrations (<cmc) increases the product yield as well.
