摘要:
IN PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ADIPIC ACID BY THE OXIDATION OF CYCLOHEXANE IN THE LIQUID PHASE WITH AQUEOUS NITRIC ACID AT TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 70* AND 130*C. WHEREIN A VANADIUM CATALYST IS EMPLOYED AND WHEREIN THE OXIDATION IS CONDUCTED IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ORGANIC NITROCOMPOUND WHICH IS A SOLVENT FOR THE CYCLOHEXANE, SUBSTANIAL INCREASES IN THE YIELD AND PRODUCTION RATE OF ADIPIC ACID AND SUBSTANTIAL DECREASES INTHE FORMATION OF NITRATED BY-PRODUCTS ARE ATTAINED WITHOUT A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN NITRIC ACID CONSUMPTION BY INTRODUCING FROM ABOUT 0.2 TO 5.0 MOLES OF NITRIC OXIDE INTO THE REACTING MIXTURE PER MOLE OF CYCLOHEXANE INTRODUCED.

IN THE PREPARATION OF A BENZENE DICARBOXYLIC ACID BY OXIDATION OF ALIQUID XYLENE WITH NITRIC ACID, THE YIELD OF THE BENZENE DICARBOXYLIC ACID CAN BE SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED BY CARRYING OUT THE OXIDATION IN THE PRESENCE OF A NITRO-SUBSTITUTED AROMATIC COMPOUND.
