Abstract
A reactive distillation process is being suggested for the production of the commercially interesting intermediate cyclohexanol from cyclohexene and water, which avoids some of the drawbacks of the conventional liquid-phase cyclohexane oxidation process, especially with respect to operational safety. This reactive distillation process has its own intricate challenges due to the fact that reaction, distillative separation and liquid-phase splitting occur simultaneously. The interaction of these three phenomena is studied using residue curve maps for both, model simulations and experimental data. Based on the fixed point analysis of the residue curves, a novel process is proposed for the reactive separation of cyclohexene/cyclohexane mixtures which is difficult to be carried out by conventional distillation due to very close boiling temperatures.
