Process for producing phenol and methyl ethyl ketone

A process for producing phenol and methyl ethyl ketone comprises contacting benzene and a C4 olefin under alkylation conditions and in the presence of an alkylation catalyst to produce an alkylation effluent comprising secbutylbenzene and C8+ olefins. The alkylation effluent is then treated to reduc...

Summary:A process for producing phenol and methyl ethyl ketone comprises contacting benzene and a C4 olefin under alkylation conditions and in the presence of an alkylation catalyst to produce an alkylation effluent comprising secbutylbenzene and C8+ olefins. The alkylation effluent is then treated to reduce the amount of the C8+ olefins and produce a treated effluent, whereafter the secbutylbenzene in the treated effluent is oxidized to produce a hydroperoxide and the hydroperoxide is cleaved to produce phenol and methyl ethyl ketone.
