Cyclohexanone Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Chemical properties
Cyclohexanone is a colorless, clear liquid with soil smell; its impure product appears as light yellow color. It is miscible with several other solvents. easily soluble in ethanol and ether. The lower exposure limit is 1.1% and the upper exposure limit is 9.4%. Cyclohexanone may be incompatible with oxidizers and nitric acid.
Cyclohexanone is a primarily used in industry, up to 96%, as a chemical intermediate in the production of nylons 6 and 66. Oxidation or conversion of cyclohexanone yields adipic acid and caprolactam, two of the immediate precursors to the respective nylons. Cyclohexanone can also be used as a solvent in a variety of products, including paints, lacquers, and resins. It has not been found to occur in natural processes.
Application
It is the raw material for the production of caprolactam and adipic acid; used as the solvents and diluent agents of paints, inks, synthetic resins and synthetic rubber; also used as leather degreasing agent.
Used as organic solvent;
Raw materials and solvents of synthetic resin and synthetic fiber;
Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material, being the major intermediates of making nylon, caprolactam and adipic acid. It is also an important industrial solvent, for example, for paints, especially for those containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymers and their copolymers or methacrylate polymer paints. Used as an excellent solvent for pesticides such as organophosphate insecticide. It is used as a solvent for dyes, viscous solvents for piston aviation lubricants, solvents for greases, waxes and rubbers. Also used as leveling agent for dyeing and fading silk; degreasing agents for polishing metal; wood coloring paint; also used for cyclohexanone stripping, decontamination and spot removal. Cyclohexanone and cyanoacetic acid can have condensation reaction to generate cyclohexylidene acetic acid, and then followed by elimination and decarboxylation to get cyclohexene acetonitrile, and finally giving cyclohexene ethylamine by hydrogenation [3399-73-3]. Cyclohexene ethylamine is a intermediate for some drugs.
The solvents for fibers, resins, rubbers, paraffins, shellac and DDT; for organic synthesis; it can dissolve many of the complexes formed by the elements and organic reagents; bismuth determination; extract rare metal such as uranium, thorium, cobalt and titanium.
Production method
In the 1940s, the industrial production of cyclohexanone mainly applied hydrogenation of phenol to generate cyclohexanol, followed by dehydrogenation to give cyclohexanone. In the 1960s, with the development of petrochemical industry, the cyclohexane oxidation production method gradually dominated. In 1967, the one step method of phenol hydrogenation, developed by the Netherlands National Mining Company (DSM) was industrialized. This method has short production process, good product quality and high yield, but the raw materials of phenol and catalyst are expensive, so the majority of the industry still adopts the cyclohexane oxidation method.
1. Phenol method takes nickel as a catalyst; first apply hydrogenation of phenol to give cyclohexanol, followed by dehydrogenation to give cyclohexanone using zinc as the catalyst for zinc.
2. Cyclohexane oxidation method uses cyclohexane as the raw material; first apply non-catalyst condition; use oxygen-rich air for oxidation to give cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, followed by decomposition into the mixture of cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, alcohol and ketone in the presence of tert-butyl chromate catalyst; further apply a series of distillation refinement to get qualified products. Raw material consumption quota: cyclohexane (99.6%) 1040kg / t.
3. Benzene hydrogenation oxidation method; benzene subjects to hydrogenation (with hydrogen) at 120-180 ℃ in the presence of nickel catalyst to generate cyclohexane; cyclohexane has oxidation reaction with air at 150-160 ℃, 0.908MPa to obtain the mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone; separate them to obtain the cyclohexanone product. Cyclohexanol is dehydrogenated at 350-400 ° C in the presence of a zinc-calcium catalyst to produce cyclohexanone. Raw material consumption quotas: benzene (99.5%) 1144kg / t, hydrogen (97.0%) 1108kg / t, caustic soda (42.0%) 230kg / t.
Description
Cyclohexanone, a colorless liquid is a cyclic ketone. It is an important building block for the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds. Majority of the cyclohexanone synthesized is utilized as an intermediate in the synthesis of nylon.
Used as a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) solvent, cyclohexanone caused contact dermatitis in a woman manufacturing PVC fluidotherapy bags. Cyclohexanone probably does not cross react with cyclohexanone resin. A cyclohexanone-derived resin used in paints and varnishes caused contact dermatitis in painters.

IARC considers the animal data for cyclohexanone as inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity and listed cyclohexanone as not classifiable for carcinogenicity (IARC Category 3).
Environmental Fate
Biological. In activated sludge inoculum, 96.0% COD removal was achieved. The average rate
of biodegradation was 30.0 mg COD/g?h (Pitter, 1976).
Photolytic. Atkinson (1985) reported an estimated photooxidation rate constant of 1.56 x 10-11
cm3/molecule?sec for the reaction of cyclohexanone and OH radicals in the atmosphere at 298 K.

capacities were 36, 6.2, 1.1, and 0.19 mg/g, respectively (Dobbs and Cohen, 1980).
storage
Color Code—Red: Flammability Hazard: Store ina flammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet awayfrom ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials.Prior to working with Cyclohexanone you should be trainedon its proper handling and storage. Before entering confinedspace where this chemical may be present, check to make sure that an explosive concentration does not exist.Cyclohexanone must be stored to avoid contact with oxidizers (such as perchlorates, peroxides, chlorates, nitrates, andpermanganates), since violent reactions occur. Store intightly closed containers in a cool well-ventilated area awayfrom heat, sparks, and flames. Metal containers involvingthe transfer of this chemical should be grounded andbonded. Where possible, automatically pump liquid fromdrums or other storage containers to process containers.Drums must be equipped with self-closing valves, pressurevacuum bungs, and flame arresters. Use only nonsparkingtools and equipment, especially when opening and closingcontainers of this chemical. Sources of ignition, such assmoking and open flames, are prohibited where this chemical is used, handled, or stored in a manner that could createa potential fire or explosion hazard. Wherever this chemicalis used, handled, manufactured, or stored, use explosionproof electrical equipment and fittings.Cyclohexanone requires a “FLAMMABLELIQUID” label. It falls in Hazard Class 3 and PackingGroup II
Shipping
UN1915 Cyclohexanone, Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3-Flammable liquid.
Purification Methods
Dry cyclohexanone with MgSO4,CaSO4, Na2SO4 or Linde type 13X molecular sieves, then distil it. Cyclohexanol and other oxidisable impurities can be removed by treatment with chromic acid or dilute KMnO4. More thorough purification is possible by conversion to the bisulfite addition compound, or the semicarbazone, followed by decomposition with Na2CO3 and steam distillation. [For example, equal weights of the bisulfite adduct (crystallised from water) and Na2CO3 are dissolved in hot water and, after steam distillation, the distillate is saturated with NaCl and extracted with Et2O which is then dried (anhydrous MgSO4 or Na2SO4), filtered and the solvent evaporated prior to further distillation.] FLAMMABLE [Beilstein 7 III 14, 7 IV 15.]
Incompatibilities
May form explosive mixture with air. Contact with oxidizing agents or nitric acid may cause a violent reaction. Do not use brass, copper, bronze, or lead fittings. Attacks many coatings and plastic materials.
Waste Disposal
Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinera- tor equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed.
