Analysis of economic benefits
Because the cyclohexanol rectifying tower waste liquid mainly contains dicyclohexyl ether, 1' -dihydroxy dicyclohexyl and other components, if a common rectifying process is adopted, the tower precision requirement is too high, the load is too large, the treatment cost is high, the investment is large, and the rectifying tower waste liquid comes from the bottom of a rectifying tower, all the components are basically balanced, and the rectifying separation difficulty is large; if the extraction recovery technology is adopted, the process is complex, the price of the extracting agent is too high, and the loss amount is large. By adopting the patent technology and a partial protection strategy, the dicyclohexyl ether and the 1, 1' -dihydroxydicyclohexyl are converted into the cyclohexanone by adopting a one-pot step-by-step oxidation method, the process is simple, and the energy consumption is low; the purity of the separated and purified cyclohexanone reaches more than 99.7 percent, the cyclohexanone can be directly sold as a commodity, and the cyclohexanol distillation residual liquid is recycled and comprehensively utilized, so that the cyclohexanone has remarkable economic, social and environmental benefits.
