Cyclohexanone Production from Cyclohexane
This report presents the economics of Cyclohexanone production from cyclohexane for a plant located in the United States. The process examined involves two main steps: (1) liquid-phase air oxidation of cyclohexane to a mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol; and (2) cyclohexanol dehydrogenation for further generation of cyclohexanone.

Cyclohexanone Production from Phenol
This report approaches the economics of producing Cyclohexanone from phenol. In the examined process, phenol undergoes a hydrogenation reaction in the liquid phase, in the presence of a palladium-based catalyst, yielding Cyclohexanone. The analysis is based on a plant located in the United States.
