Process integration of H sub(2)O sub(2) generation and the ammoximation of cyclohexanone

The possibility of the integration of the processes of H sub(2)O sub(2) generation through isopropanol partial oxidation and ammoximation of cyclohexanone with H sub(2)O sub(2) and NH sub(3) 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 H sub(2)O sub(2) 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 H sub(2)O sub(2) generation through isopropanol oxidation and the ammoximation of cyclohexanone could be directly integrated.
