Problems solved by technology

However, since phenol / cyclohexanone mixtures always contain non-negligible amounts of cyclohexylbenzene which can be converted to dicyclohexane in the hydrogenation step, and since hydrogenation of phenol / cyclohexanone / cyclohexylbenzene mixtures also leads to the formation of Cyclohexanol, resulting in a loss of yield, so such a method presents challenges

Abstract

Disclosed are processes and systems for making cyclohexanone from a mixture comprising phenol, cyclohexanone, and cyclohexylbenzene, comprising a step of or a device for subjecting at least a portion of the mixture to hydrogenation and a step of or a device for distilling a phenol / cyclohexanone / cyclohexylbenzene mixture to obtain an effluent rich in cyclohexanone.

Description

[0001] Priority claims and related applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application 62 / 037,814, filed August 15, 2014, and European Patent Application 14188468.4, filed October 10, 2014, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to methods and systems for the preparation of cyclohexanone. In particular, the present invention relates to methods and systems for the production of cyclohexanone by hydrogenation of phenol. The invention is useful, for example, in the preparation of cyclohexanone by oxidation of cyclohexylbenzene and cleavage of cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide. Background technique [0004] Cyclohexanone is an important raw material in the chemical industry and is widely used, for example, in the production of phenolic resins, bisphenol A, ε-caprolactam, adipic acid, and plasticizers. One way to prepare cyclohexanone is by hydrogenati...
