METHOD FOR OXIDATION OF SATURATED CYCLIC HYDROCARBONS WITH OXYGEN

摘要

The invention relates to a continuous method for oxidation of saturated cyclic hydrocarbons with oxygen, to give a mixture of hydroperoxides, alcohols and ketones, more particularly, a method for oxidation of cyclohexane, applied in a column forming a bubble reactor, for the formation of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. According to the invention, the column can be supplied with air enriched in oxygen, whilst respecting the maximum oxygen concentration limits in the reactor void in order to avoid any risk of explosion.
