Ni/CNT was synthesized through a traditional impregnation method, and the detailed physicochemical properties were performed by means of XRD, TEM, XPS, BET, and ICP analysis. Through the screening of loading amounts, solvents, reaction temperature, and reaction time, 20% Ni/CNT achieves an almost complete conversion of phenol after 60 min at 220 ◦C in the absence of external hydrogen. Furthermore, the catalytic system is carried out on a variety of phenol derivatives for the generation of corresponding cyclohexanols with good to excellent results.

The photoproducts, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, initially develop at constant rates, implying that the ketone and the alcohol are both primary products. The yield is improved by the inclusion of 1% acetic acid in the cyclohexane. With small amounts of catalyst, the reaction rate increases with the amount of catalyst employed, but then passes through a maximum and decreases, due to increased reflection of the incident light. The reaction rate also passes through a maximum as the percentage of dioxygen above the sample is increased. This behavior is due to quenching by oxygen, which at the same time is a reactant. Under one set of reaction conditions, the photonic efficiency at 365 nm was 0.018 mol/Einstein. Compared to TiO2 as a catalyst, Et4N[FeCl4] generates lower yields at wavelengths below about 380 nm, but higher yields at longer wavelengths. Selectivity for cyclohexanol is considerably greater with Et4N[FeCl4], and oxidation does not proceed past cyclohexanone.

  • Phenol Hydrogenation Over Pd/Zro2 Using Ethanol As Hydrogen Source

Phenol hydrogenation over the Pd/ZrO2 catalyst has been carried out using ethanol as hydrogen source. The reaction temperature, catalyst and ethanol quantity are found to be influencing factors for effective phenol conversion. In all cases, low quantity (5%~10%) of ethanol and high temperature is efficient for a high phenol conversion. The results show that low quantity (5%~10%) of ethanol is efficient for high cyclohexanone selectivity at low temperature (573K). However, the selectivity of cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol and cyclohexane are insensitive to the ethanol quantity at high temperature (653K). It seems that ethanol plays an important dual role: as hydrogen source and as additive to control the phenol conversion and products selectivity. Introduction Cyclohexanone is the key raw material for the preparation of nylon 6 and adipic acid for nylon 66 [1,2]. The industrial production of cyclohexanone commonly involves the selective catalytic hydrogenation of phenol. On the other hand, phenol is an established environmental toxin and phenol-based waste originates form a variety of industrial sources including oil refineries, petrochemical units, polymeric resin manufacturing and plastic units [7]. Therefore, catalytic hydrogenation of phenol for cyclohexanone is an important chemical process, and has been widely studied [3-10].

CHINA, BEIJING PURPOSE OF THE ABSTRACT 1 Introduction Cyclohexanone is an important organic chemical raw material and is the main intermediate for the manufacture of ?-caprolactam and adipic acid. It is also widely used as a solvent. Industrially, the production processes of cyclohexanone mainly include cyclohexane oxidation, phenol hydrogenation and cyclohexene hydration. Among the above processes, the application of the cyclohexane oxidation is most common. 2 Production technology of cyclohexanone The cyclohexane oxidation process uses an oxidizing agent (generally air) to oxidize cyclohexane to cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, and cyclohexyl hydroperoxide decomposes to a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone (KA oil), and cyclohexanone obtained by dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol. The disadvantages of this process are: (1) the conversion of cyclohexane is low, only 3 to 5%, the yield of cyclohexanone is less than 80%; (2) a large amount of refractory waste alkali liquor is produced in the production process, so it is environment unfriendly; (3) intrinsic safety issues with oxidation processes. The phenol hydrogenation process is a relatively clean cyclohexanone production route, and the yield of cyclohexanone can reach 90% to 95%, which has the advantages of short process flow and high product purity. However, this process requires the vaporization of phenol and methanol, so the energy consumption is high; and the industrial application of the process is limited due to the shortage of phenol raw materials.

Direct oxidation of neat cyclohexene by aq. hydrogen peroxide to adipic acid is selectively achieved in good yield (46%), in the presence of the recyclable C-homoscorpionate iron(II) complex 3 [FeCl2{κ -HC(pz)3}] (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) and microwave irradiation, by a nitrous oxide-free protocol. Keywords: cyclohexene; adipic acid; oxidation; nitrous oxide; C-scorpionate; iron; microwave; ionic liquid; recyclable 1. Introduction Adipic acid (AA) is a highly relevant commodity produced at a large scale (over 3.5 mio metric tons/year and growing by ca. 5%/year) [1,2] worldwide, as it constitutes a building block for several industrial processes. It is mostly used for the synthesis of Nylon-6,6 polyamide; therefore, the rising demand for engineered plastics requires increased production of AA. Currently, adipic acid is mainly obtained by an inefficient and environmentally harmful two-step process [1,3] involving catalytic cyclohexane oxidation to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone mixture followed by its oxidation with nitric acid.

The natures of these catalysts were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption analysis, H2-TPR, CO2-TPD and NH3-TPD. The catalytic performance of the supported Pd-catalyst for phenol hydrogenation to cyclohexanone is closely related to nature of the support and the size of Pd nanoparticles. The Pd/MgO catalyst which possesses higher basicity shows higher cyclohexanone selectivity, but lower phenol conversion owing to the lower specific surface area. The Pd/SiO2 catalyst prepared by precipitation gives higher cyclohexanone selectivity and phenol conversion, due to the moderate amount of Lewis acidic sites, and the smaller size and higher dispersion of Pd nanoparticles on the surface. Under the reaction temperature of 135 oC and H2 pressure of 1 MPa, after reacting for 3.5 h, the phenol conversion of 71.62% and the cyclohexanone selectivity of 90.77% can be obtained over 0.5 wt% Pd/SiO2 catalyst.

The photochemistry of cyclohexanone is studied here using on-the- fly molecular dynamics simulations on a semiempirical multi- reference configuration interaction potential-energy surface to predict the distribution of photoproducts and time scales for their formation. Rich photochemistry is predicted to occur on a picosecond time scale following the photoexcitation of cyclo- hexanone to the first singlet excited state. The main findings include: (1) Reaction channels found experimentally are confirmed by the theoretical simulations, and a new reaction channel is predicted. (2) The majority (87%) of the reactive trajectories start with a ring opening via C−Cα bond cleavage, supporting observations of previous studies. (3) Mechanistic details, time scales, and yields are predicted for all reaction channels. These benchmark results shed light on the photochemistry of isolated carbonyl compounds in the atmosphere and can be extended in the future to photochemistry of more complex atmospherically relevant carbonyl compounds in both gaseous and condensed-phase environments.
