Abstract
Autoxidation of liquid cyclohexane utilizing pure oxygen to produce cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol, and their precursors is achieved in a medium of cyclohexane/water mixture. The addition of water, which acts as an inert component, permits the use of pure oxygen without forming the potentially explosive oxygen/cyclohexane mixtures in the overhead vapor space as well as in the oxygen bubbles. The result is an inherently safer process for cyclohexane oxidation with increased yield and selectivity to the desired products. The use of pure oxygen improves not only the productivity and safety but also reduces the emission and benefits the environment.
