hydroxycyclohexane - Production method
Industrial production methods are mainly phenol hydrogenation and cyclohexane oxidation. 1. Phenol hydrogenation method Phenol vapor and hydrogen in the presence of nickel catalyst, at 110-185 ℃, pressure 1.078-1.471MPa, hydrogenation reaction in a tubular reactor to produce cyclohexanol vapor products, after heat exchange, condensation, separation and removal of hydrogen, and then distillation to obtain the finished product. 2. Cyclohexane oxidation benzene vapor is hydrogenated at 120-180 ℃ in the presence of nickel catalyst to obtain cyclohexane. Cyclohexane oxidation to produce cyclohexanol is divided into the following three methods according to different catalysts:
- (1) cobalt salt catalytic method uses cobalt naphthenate, cobalt stearate or cobalt octoate as catalyst.
- (2) The boric acid catalytic method uses boric acid or metaboric acid as a catalyst. During the air oxidation process, boric acid and cyclohexyl hydrogen peroxide form cyclohexanol perborate, and then become borate Cyclohexanol ester, or combined with the resulting cyclohexanol to form cyclohexanol borate and cyclohexanol metaborate. Then hydrolyze, the oil phase is purified to obtain the finished product.
- (3) catalyst-free oxidation method uses cyclohexane as raw material, oxidizes cyclohexyl hydrogen peroxide with air with oxygen content of 10%-15% at a pressure of 1.47-1.96MPa and a temperature of 170-200 ℃. after concentration, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone are catalytically decomposed at 70-160 ℃ to obtain cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone.
