Cyclohexanone

Cyclohexanone (C6H10O) is a six-carbon cyclic molecule with the


•
.
ketone functional group.

• It is a colorless oily liquid with an acetone like smell. Cyclohexanone

can be characterized as a volatile, combustible, and toxic liquid.

• Cyclohexanone is a hazardous material. It is less dense than

water with a pleasant odor.

Applications of Cyclohexanone

• Cyclohexanone is used to form caprolactam and adipic acid which are


used to produce nylon 6,6 and nylon 6. Similarly, it acts as an intermediate
in the production of fertilizers, films, soaps, and others.

• It is used for the synthesis of paints, dyes, rubber chemicals, coatings,


pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, herbicides, adhesives etc

• Cyclohexanone finds wide end-use applications. Additional uses include


spot remover, degreasing of metals, polishes, and lubricating oil additives.

Available Manufacturing Processes

There are two available manufacturing Processes, which


are:
1. Cyclohexane Oxidation Process
2. Phenol Hydrogenation Process

Process Selection

By comparing bothavailable processes, we have selected


“Phenol Hydrogenation Process” due to following reasons:
• This process has comparatively high yield.
• Raw Material(Phenol) can be imported from China.
• This process is commercially/industrially developed process.
• Negligible Environmental Impacts.

10
Raw Materials

Following raw material are use for production of


Cyclohexanone
• Phenol
• Hydrogen

Consumption of Cyclohexanone in Pakistan

• In Pakistan, cyclohexanone is majorly imported from other countries like


China, USA, Tawian to meet the industrial requirements.
• The major importers of cyclohexanone in Pakistan are Berger
Paints
Limited, Swat Agro Chemicals, and Al-Mehran Chemicals..
