Abstract

A system for producing high-purity phenol and/or cyclohexanone from cyclohexylbenzene oxidation includes a cyclohexylbenzene feed hydrogenation reactor, a bubble column oxidation reactor, a cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide concentrator, a cleavage reactor, and a separation and purification sub-system. The components and the integrated system are designed such that high-purity phenol and/or cyclohexanone can be produced at high energy efficiency.
