Abstract:
1. A process for preparing cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone from cyclohexane, comprising steps of: (1) non-catalyticly oxidizing cyclohexane with molecular oxygen to obtain an oxidized mixture liquid containing cyclohexyl hydroperoxide (CHHP) as a main product; (2) performing a homogenous catalytic decomposition with an oil-soluble transitional metal compound which serves as a catalyst to decompose the CHHP into cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone; and (3) rectifying to obtain products of the cyclohexanol and the cyclohexanone; wherein the step (2) further comprises a step of serving as a scale inhibitor by 1-hydroxy ethidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid dioctyl ester, or a combination of 1-hydroxy ethidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid dioctyl ester and phosphoric acid octyl ester, wherein for the step of “serving as the scale inhibitor by 1-hydroxy ethidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid dioctyl ester”, a weight ratio of the 1-hydroxy ethidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid dioctyl ester to transitional metal ions of the transitional metal compound is 1:0.8˜1.2; for the step of “serving as the scale inhibitor by the combination of 1-hydroxy ethidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid dioctyl ester and the phosphoric acid octyl ester”, namely a part of the 1-hydroxy ethidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid dioctyl ester is substituted with the phosphoric acid octyl acid for serving as the scale inhibitor, an amount of the scale inhibitor is calculated according to an equation that a descaling capacity of 20 tons of the phosphoric acid octyl ester is equivalent to a descaling capacity of 1 ton of the 1-hydroxy ethidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid dioctyl ester; wherein the 1-hydroxy ethidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid dioctyl ester has a molecular structural formula of:
