Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the production field of cyclohexene, an organic chemical raw material, and in particular to a method for producing cyclohexene. Background Art
[0002] Cyclohexene is an important chemical raw material and intermediate. It can be used to synthesize lysine, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, 1,2-cyclohexanediol, adipic acid, cyclohexenone and cyclohexene oxide, etc. It has a wide range of industrial uses.
[0003] At present, cyclohexene is produced industrially by partial hydrogenation of benzene. Benzene is selectively hydrogenated with hydrogen under the action of a ruthenium-based catalyst to produce a mixture of cyclohexene and cyclohexane, which is then separated and purified by extraction, distillation and purification to obtain cyclohexene. The disadvantages of this method are: (1) The catalyst is a complex aqueous solution system with Ru-Zn as the main agent and zinc sulfate and zirconium oxide as auxiliary agents. The catalyst preparation stability is poor, which often brings difficulties to the stable operation of the process, and ruthenium is expensive; (2) The reaction conversion rate and selectivity of partial hydrogenation of benzene are not high. The most ideal result is a benzene conversion rate of 50%, a cyclohexene selectivity of 75%, and a large amount of low-priced cyclohexane as a by-product; (3) The reaction products are benzene, cyclohexene, and cyclohexane, which have basically the same boiling points. In particular, cyclohexene and cyclohexane are extremely difficult to separate. Therefore, the product separation process is complicated and the energy consumption is very high; (4) The benzene partial hydrogenation reactor needs to be made of expensive Hastelloy alloy, and the equipment investment is high. Due to the above factors, the production cost of cyclohexene has remained high for a long time. Summary of the invention

The method for preparing cyclohexene has the advantages of high raw material conversion rate, high cyclohexene yield and almost no by-product cyclohexane.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for producing cyclohexene, which comprises: subjecting cyclohexylbenzene and / or dicyclohexylbenzene raw materials to a cracking reaction with a solid acid catalyst to obtain cyclohexene and benzene;
