METHOD FOR PRODUCING CYCLOHEXANE WITH PRE-SEPARATION OF DIMETHYLPENTANES
摘要
<p>The present invention relates to a method for producing cyclohexane from benzene and/or methylcyclopentane (MCP) by hydrogenation or isomerisation. Prior to cyclohexane production, the dimethylpentanes (DMP) are separated in a distillation device (D1) from a hydrocarbon mixture (KG1) which contains DMP in addition to benzene and/or MCP. If cyclohexane is already present in the hydrocarbon mixture (KG1), the cyclohexane is separated initially with DMP in conjunction with benzene and/or MCP. The already present cyclohexane can be re-separated from DMP in a subsequent distillation step and can be recycled into the process in order to produce cyclohexane.</p>
