Abstract

The invention provides a method and a reactor for catalyzing cumene oxidation by utilizing a structured carbon nano-tube catalyst. The method comprises the following steps: (1) mounting the structured carbon nano-tube catalyst on the stirring shaft of a tank reactor, adding cumene used as a reactant into the reactor for heating to 60-100 DEG C, filling the reactor with oxygen till the pressure reaches 0.2-0.8 Mpa, and stirring the mixture for 2-10 hours' reaction, wherein the structured carbon nano-tube catalyst is obtained through in-situ growth of carbon nano-tubes on the surface of foam metal by utilizing chemical vapor deposition and the foam metal is coated with aluminum oxide sol; (2) after the reaction is finished, conducting separation and purification on the liquid mixture to obtain a product, namely cumene hydroperoxide. Through adoption of the reactor, the process for recovering the carbon nano-tube catalyst is simplified, and both mass transfer and heat transfer are enhanced. The structured carbon nano-tube catalyst is good in activity, high in selectivity of cumene hydroperoxide and excellent in stability.
