[0002] The decomposition of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide is an important process in the production of cyclohexanone by the cyclohexane oxidation method. The industry generally adopts a heterogeneous catalytic decomposition route under an alkaline environment, which has the characteristics of high conversion rate and low yield. However, a large amount of waste alkali liquid will be produced in this route, which increases the cost of environmental protection treatment; on the other hand, this route also has the problem of difficulty in subsequent separation of organic and inorganic phases. The homogeneous decomposition technology of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide has the advantage of high yield, but due to its insufficient conversion rate, the technical route of combining homogeneous decomposition + heterogeneous decomposition is often adopted in industrial practice to improve the decomposition yield of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide and reduce the alkali consumption of heterogeneous decomposition and the generation of waste alkali liquid. In the process of applying the homogeneous decomposition technology, due to the dispersed addition of the catalyst and the short residence time, the homogeneous decomposition yield of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide is low, and the consumption of catalysts and auxiliary agents is high.

[0009] Furthermore, both the pre-decomposition reactor and the decomposition reactor are provided with liquid level gauges.

[0010] Furthermore, the discharge pipe of the decomposition reactor is connected to a post-processing process via a discharge pump.

[0011] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. By setting up a pre-decomposition reactor, on the one hand, the mixing effect can be enhanced, and the residence time can be extended, so that a part of cyclohexane can be flashed out in advance, and the later homogeneous reaction can be more sufficient.

[0013] 2. When the catalyst is added, the utility model mixes it with the scale inhibitor and then promotes it through an inert gas, and then mixes it fully and then mixes it with the cyclohexyl hydrogen peroxide oxidation liquid, which greatly improves the dispersion effect of the catalyst and the scale inhibitor, and reduces the amount of organic catalyst and organic scale inhibitor by 30-50%; under the condition of the same amount of catalyst added, the yield of cyclohexyl hydrogen peroxide homogeneous decomposition can be increased by 5-20%, and the side reaction of the post-treatment process is reduced, so as to reduce the consumption of raw materials and costs.
