Process integration of H₂O₂ generation and the ammoximation of cyclohexanone

The possibilty of the integration of the processes of H₂O₂ generation through isopropanol partial oxidation and ammoximation of cyclohexanone with H₂O₂ and NH₃ TS-1 catalysed was investigated. The ammoximation of cyclohexanone over TS-1 with isopropanol as solvent was first studied. The results show that isopropanol can be used as solvent, and the impurities in the H₂O₂ solution obtained through isopropanol oxidation with only acetone needing to be separated have no harmful effects on the ammoximation of cyclohexanone, suggesting that the process of H₂O₂ generation through isopropanol oxidation and the ammoximation of cyclohexanone could be directly integrated.
