PROCESS FOR PREPARING CYCLOHEXANOL AND CYCLOHEXANONE

摘要

FIELD: synthesis of organic compounds. SUBSTANCE: in order to oxidize cyclohexane, gas-vapor mixture of cyclohexane and oxygen is exposed to barrier electric discharge. Reaction products are withdrawn from reactor discharge zone by using liquid film of condensed cyclohexane vapors which runs down along reactor walls. EFFECT: reduced pressure and lower temperature in reaction zone and greater process rate. 2 cl, 2 tbl
