Described herein is a process for producing phenol in which (a) benzene and hydrogen are contacted with a hydroalkylation catalyst under hydroalkylation conditions to produce cyclohexylbenzene; (b) the cyclohexylbenzene is contacted with an oxidation catalyst under oxidation conditions to produce cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide; (c) the cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide is contacted with a cleavage catalyst under cleavage conditions to produce a cleavage effluent comprising phenol and cyclohexanone; (d) the cyclohexanone is contacted with a dehydrogenation catalyst under dehydrogenation conditions to produce a dehydrogenation effluent having at least a portion of the cyclohexanone and a first contaminant; and (e) the first contaminant is contacted with an acidic material under contaminant treatment conditions to convert at least a portion of the first contaminant into a converted first contaminant. Phenol compositions made from the above-described process are also described herein.
本文介绍了一种制备苯酚的过程,其中(a)苯和氢在羟基烷基化催化剂的作用下,在羟基烷基化条件下接触,产生环己基苯;(b)将环己基苯在氧化催化剂的作用下,在氧化条件下接触,产生环己基苯过氧化物;(c)将环己基苯过氧化物在裂解催化剂的作用下,在裂解条件下接触,产生裂解产物,包括苯酚和环己酮;(d)将环己酮在脱氢催化剂的作用下,在脱氢条件下接触,产生脱氢产物,其中至少包含一部分环己酮和第一污染物;(e)将第一污染物在酸性材料的作用下,在污染物处理条件下接触,将第一污染物的至少一部分转化为转化后的第一污染物。本文还介绍了从上述过程中制备的苯酚组合物。
