20080214872 | METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PHENOL AND ACETONE - A method for the production of phenol and acetone from a cumene hydroperoxide mixture comprises: decomposing the cumene hydroperoxide mixture in the presence of a catalyst mixture to form a mixture comprising phenol and acetone, wherein the method further comprises: a) forming the catalyst mixture in a catalyst formation reactor by combining sulfuric acid and phenol in a weight ratio of from 2:1 to 1:1000; b) holding the catalyst mixture in the catalyst formation reactor at a temperature of about 20 to 80° C. for about 1 to 600 minutes; and c) adding the catalyst mixture to the cumene hydroperoxide mixture to form the phenol and acetone mixture. Running the process in this manner reduces the yield of hydroxyacetone and, consequently, improves the quality of the commercial phenol. Moreover, this method reduces consumption of sulfuric acid in comparison with the process in which sulfuric acid is used as catalyst. | 09-04-2008 |
20080214873 | METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PHENOL AND ACETONE - A method for the production of phenol and acetone from a cumene hydroperoxide mixture comprises a first stage and a second stage and at least two serially connected reactors, wherein the first stage comprises decomposition of a cumene hydroperoxide mixture in the presence of a catalyst mixture to form a dicumyl peroxide mixture, and the second stage comprises formation of a phenol and acetone mixture from decomposition of the dicumyl peroxide mixture formed in the first stage, wherein, the first stage further comprises: a) forming a catalyst mixture by combining sulfuric acid and phenol in a weight ratio of from 2:1 to 1:1000 in a catalyst formation reactor, b) holding the catalyst mixture in the catalyst formation reactor at a temperature of about 20 to 80° C. for about 1 to 600 minutes; and, c) adding the catalyst mixture to the cumene hydroperoxide mixture to form the phenol and acetone mixture. The proposed method permits a significant reduction in the yield of hydroxyacetone that causes deterioration in the quality of commercial phenol. | 09-04-2008 |

20110306800 | METHOD FOR THE DECOMPOSITION OF CUMENE HYDROPEROXIDE - An improved method for the production of phenol, acetone and alpha-methyl styrene (AMS) from a cumene hydroperoxide and dimethylbenzyl alcohol (DMBA) mixture is described, wherein 0.5-5% additional water by weight is added prior to the final DMBA dehydration step, carried out in the presence of about 20-400 ppm mineral acid catalyst at 110-150° C. for 0.5 to 40 minutes residence time. The use of additional water allows greater flexibility in maintaining optimum temperature in the second stage over a much broader turndown range with fixed equipment, decreases the residual dicumyl peroxide (DCP) at the yield optimum for a given temperature, and increases the overall yield of AMS at optimum conditions at a given temperature. | 12-15-2011 |

The method can include fractionating the crude acetone within the fractionation column to produce an acetone containing overhead and a phenol containing bottoms. The method can also include condensing at least a portion of the acetone containing overhead indirectly with a cool heat transfer medium to provide a condensed crude acetone product and a heated heat transfer medium, wherein the heat transfer medium includes cumene. | 09-18-2014 |
20150141700 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ALKYLATED AROMATIC COMPOUNDS - A process for producing alkylated aromatic compounds includes pyrolyzing a coal feed to produce a coke stream and a coal tar stream. The coal tar stream is hydrotreated and the resulting hydrotreated coal tar stream is cracked. A portion of the cracked coal tar stream is separated to obtain a fraction having an initial boiling point in the range of about 60° C. to about 180° C., and an aromatics-rich hydrocarbon stream is extracted by contacting the fraction with one or more solvents. The aromatics-rich hydrocarbon stream is contacted with an alkylating agent to produce an alkylated aromatic stream, or the aromatics-rich hydrocarbon stream is reacted with an aliphatic compound or methanol in the presence of a catalyst to produce a methylated aromatic stream. The alkylated aromatic stream, the methylated aromatic stream, or both are separated into at least a benzene stream, a toluene stream, and a xylenes stream. | 05-21-2015 |
