The present invention refers to a method for reducing heavy end formation and catalyst loss in a continuous hydroformylation process, where an olefin or an olefin mixture is reacted with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in a reactor assembly (1) in the presence of a rhodium complex catalyst, comprising at least one organobisphosphite ligand, in order to produce an aldehyde. Said method comprising the addition of an epoxide to the reaction mixture and the continuous or discontinuous removal of early heavy ends.

Polymerization inhibitor compositions are provided. The polymerization inhibitor compositions may include at least one hydroxylamine of a nitroxide and at least one phenylenediamine. Methods of inhibiting the unwanted polymerization of monomers are also provided. The methods include adding the presently disclosed polymerization inhibitor compositions to a fluid containing the monomers. The monomers may be ethylenically unsaturated monomers, such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, acrolein, methacrolein, acrylate, methacrylate, acrylamide, methacrylamide, vinyl acetate, butadiene, ethylene, propylene, and styrene.

Acrolein is a useful additive for treating hydrocarbon fluids, such as crude oil, for multiple purposes including, but not necessarily limited to, reducing or preventing microbial activity, scavenging hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and/or at least partially dissolving iron sulfide (Fe.sub.xS.sub.y). Acrolein can be stabilized against decomposition by mixing or combining it with at least one alkyl carbonate, which can also raise the flash point of the stabilized acrolein composition.
