Coupled action of ozone and UV radiation towards obtaining adipic acid from cyclohexane/one


Cite

A lot of research is constantly underway in the world to develop new or improve the current processes of the chemical industry to make them more effective and environmentally friendly. The described research on the oxidation of cyclohexane or cyclohexanone to adipic acid with a coupled action of UV radiation and oxygen–ozone mixture, instead of the currently used oxidation with HNO3, is part of this trend. Gas chromatography was used to determine process indicators, such as cyclohexane conversion and selectivity to AA, which exceeded 50% at 25 oC, after 16 h. This method can also be used for the preparation of other dicarboxylic acids from cycloalkanes, which proves its universal character.
