Process for preparing organic hydroperoxide having a reduced amount of contaminants.

摘要

A process for preparing organic hydroperoxide having a reduced content of contaminants, which process involves: (a) oxidation of an organic compound to obtain reaction product containing an organic hydroperoxide; (b) contacting at least part of the organic hydroperoxide containing reaction product with a basic aqueous solution; (c) separating the hydrocarbonaceous phase containing organic hydroperoxide from the aqueous phase; (d) washing at least part of the separated hydrocarbonaceous phase containing organic hydroperoxide; and (e) contacting at least part of the hydrocarbonaceous phase containing organic hydroperoxide with a guard bed having solid adsorbent with a void content of from 50% to 98% by volume.
