However, so far little attention has been paid to the importance of these two phases, other than the separation of adipic acid from the "polar phase" and the partial or complete recycling of these phases to the reactor with or without further treatment

Embodiment Construction

[0045] As stated above, the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of dibasic acids by oxidizing a hydrocarbon with a gas containing an oxidizing agent, preferably oxygen.

[0046] The inventors found that during the oxidation of hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane and xylene to form the corresponding dibasic acids in the presence of a cobalt catalyst, adding a critical amount of fluorine compounds to the reaction mixture can increase the reaction rate without compromising selectivity, yield and / or response control.

[0047] Despite the practical importance of continuous systems for the production of dibasic acids compared to batch reactors, the inventors have found that microreactors can be used to determine the limits within which continuous systems operating under steady conditions can be advantageously utilized Fluorine compounds.

[0048] Two critical parameters relate to the aforementioned limits and were determined with the microreactor described below...

Abstract

This invention relates to methods of oxidizing hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane, o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene, to form a respective acid, such as adipic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and terephthalic acid, for example, by introducing into the reaction mixture small critical amounts of fluorocompounds. Preferable fluorocompounds are perfluoroacids, such as for example perfluoroacetic acid, perfluorobutyric acid, and perfluorooctanoic acid. By introducing the critical amounts of the fluorocompounds, the reactivity increases without sacrificing yield and / or selectivity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the preparation of intermediate oxidation products, in particular by oxidation of compounds selected from cyclohexane, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene and mixtures thereof under controlled conditions in the presence of a small critical amount of a fluorine compound co-solvent. It is the method of dibasic acid. Background of the invention [0002] There is a large body of references (patents and authored papers) dealing with the formation of intermediate oxidation products such as dibasic acids by oxidation of hydrocarbons, the most important one being adipic acid. Adipic acid is used to make nylon 66 fibers and resins, polyesters, polyurethanes, and a variety of other compounds. Examples of other intermediate oxidation products include, but are not limited to, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, benzoic acid, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, phthalic acid, and the like. [0003] Different methods e...
