CYCLOPOL and CYCLOPOL-bis, technology for cyclohexanone in India
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2012, Vol 66, Issue 10
Abstract
This paper discusses the CYCLOPOL process in Tarnów based on hydrogenating benzene to cyclohexane and then oxidising cyclohexane with atmospheric oxygen to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, dehydrogenating cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone and purifying the latter one. This process was developed in the 1960s as the result of a very close collaboration between Zakłady Azotowe in Tarnów-Mościce and the Institute of General Chemistry, currently the Industrial Chemistry Research Institute in Warsaw. This process was implemented into the industrial practice in Tarnów and Puławy (in the 1970s) and sold as the licence and know-how to Slovakia, Spain, Taiwan, Belarus, Italy, South Korea and India. It also describes the CYCLOPOLbis process which is the modernised CYCLOPOL technology with significantly reduced raw material consumption indices and the improved quality of obtained cyclohexanol-cyclohexanone mixture. The paper also presents the technology for cyclohexanone in India and the cooperation with Gujarat State Fertilizers&Chemicals Ltd connected with the licensor’s activity in the field of research, development and modernisation of the processes. This cooperation brings considerable advantages and acts as an incentive for the engineers’ development. It builds Azoty Tarnów reputation as well as creates new potential areas for conducting the business.
