Procedure
Hereinafter, mainly, the methods of producing adipic acid directly from cyclohexane are mentioned. 1. Chemical Technology 1974(9) disclosed on page 555 - 559 that adipic acid was produced by oxidizing cyclohexane by molecular oxygen under a pressure, at a temperature about 80° - 90° C in the presence of catalyst and initiator in acetic acid. The selectivity rate of adipic acid was 72 - 74%, and conversion rate of cyclohexane was 82 - 88%. 2. Ullmann Encyclopaedia Der Technische Chemie Bd. 3 (1953) disclosed on page 95 that cyclohexane was oxidized by nitric acid under a pressure of 2 - 15 atm at a temperature of 90° - 120° C in about 12 hours to produce adipic acid in an yield about 34% with nitrocyclohexane in an yield about 16%.
