AI Technical Summary
In the existing hydration process for producing cyclohexanol, catalyst particles easily clog the trays and reboilers, leading to decreased heat transfer efficiency, reduced product yield, high energy consumption, and safety hazards. Furthermore, the catalyst is discharged as waste oil, resulting in material loss and high operating costs.
The reaction products are treated using adiabatic or isothermal flash evaporation technology, combined with filtration or liquid-liquid separation technology, to recover the catalyst and reduce its contact in the cyclohexanol separation tower. Solid-liquid separation is achieved through flash evaporation, filtration equipment and liquid-liquid separation equipment, thereby reducing energy consumption and eliminating safety hazards.
Effective catalyst recovery reduces product yield, lowers risk, reduces energy consumption, avoids tray blockage and safety hazards, reduces operating costs, and improves production safety.
