The process examined is similar to Asahi Kasei process. Benzene is partially hydrogenated to cyclohexene intermediate. Cyclohexene is then hydrated to produce cyclohexanol, which is further converted to Adipic Acid. Cyclohexane is generated as by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): US Patent 9056309, issued to Asahi Kasei in 2015 Keywords: Hexanedioic Acid, Ketone/Alcohol Oil, Alkylation, Oxidation, Cumene, Cumene Hydroperoxide, CHP
