Abstract
(EN) In a process for producing phenol, cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide is cleaved to produce a cleavage effluent stream comprising phenol and cyclohexanone and at least a portion of the cleavage effluent stream is fractionated to produce a first fraction richer in cyclohexanone than the cleavage effluent stream portion and a second fraction richer in phenol and depleted in cyclohexanone as compared with said cleavage effluent stream portion. At least a portion of the second fraction is then contacted with a dehydrogenation catalyst in a dehydrogenation reaction zone under dehydrogenation conditions effective to convert at least a portion of the cyclohexanone in said second fraction portion into phenol and cyclohexanol. In another embodiment, a composition of cyclohexanone (>99 wt%) and impurities of methylcy-clopentanone, cyclohexenol, cyclohexanedione or hydroxycyclohex-anone and cyclohexanol is claimed.
(FR) L'invention concerne un procédé de production de phénol qui comporte les étapes consistant à : cliver de l'hydroperoxyde de cyclohexylbenzène afin de produire un flux d'effluent de clivage comprenant du phénol et du cyclohexanone ; et fractionner au moins une partie du flux d'effluent de clivage afin de produire une première fraction plus riche en cyclohexanone que la partie du flux d'effluent de clivage, et une seconde fraction plus riche en phénol et appauvrie en cyclohexanone par rapport à ladite partie du flux d'effluent de clivage ; mettre ensuite au moins une partie de la seconde fraction en contact avec un catalyseur de déshydrogénation dans une zone de réaction de déshydrogénation, dans des conditions de déshydrogénation permettant de transformer au moins une partie du cyclohexanone de ladite seconde fraction en phénol et en cyclohexanol. Dans une autre forme de réalisation, l'invention concerne une composition de cyclohexanone (> 99 % en poids) et des impuretés de méthylcyclopentanone, de cyclohexénol, de cyclohexanedione ou d'hydroxycyclohexanone et de cyclohexanol.
