Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of production of cyclohexene, an organic chemical raw material, and specifically to a method for producing cyclohexene. Background Technology

[0002] Cyclohexene is an important chemical raw material and intermediate, which can be used to synthesize lysine, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, 1,2-cyclohexanediol, adipic acid, cyclohexenone, and cyclohexene oxide, etc., and has a wide range of industrial applications.

[0003] Currently, cyclohexene is produced industrially by partial hydrogenation of benzene. Benzene undergoes selective hydrogenation with hydrogen under the action of a ruthenium-based catalyst to produce a mixture of cyclohexene and cyclohexane, which is then purified by extraction and distillation to obtain cyclohexene. The disadvantages of this method are: (1) The catalyst is a complex aqueous solution system with Ru-Zn as the main catalyst and zinc sulfate and zirconium oxide as auxiliary agents. The catalyst preparation has poor stability, which often brings difficulties to the stable operation of the process, and ruthenium is expensive; (2) The conversion rate and selectivity of the partial hydrogenation of benzene are not high. The ideal result is a benzene conversion rate of 50% and a cyclohexene selectivity of 75%, with a large amount of low-priced cyclohexane as a byproduct; (3) The reaction products are benzene, cyclohexene, and cyclohexane, which have basically the same boiling point. In particular, cyclohexene and cyclohexane are extremely difficult to separate, so the product separation process is complex and energy consumption is very high; (4) The partial hydrogenation reactor for benzene needs to be made of expensive Hastelloy, resulting in high equipment investment. Due to the above factors, the production cost of cyclohexene has remained high for a long time. Summary of the Invention
