Phenol is added to mixer and mixed with recycled phenol from distillation column Into a pump then into mixer the product is then mixed with fresh H and recycled H The product is sent to heat exchanger then a fixed bed reactor and reacted at degrees Celsius and bar. Cyclohexanol, Cyclohexanone, unreacted H and unreacted Phenol is then passed to heat exchanger then flash separator h is removed and recycled back into the system through a compressor then back into mixer The products from separator are passed through pump then heat exchanger then distillation column phenol is separated and passed through heat exchanger and joins mixer from cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol which are removed as top product. This product is then passed through a reboiler and heat exchanger then Into Distillation column cyclohexanol is removed as bottom product while cyclohexanone is removed as top product and stored. Cyclohexanol is passed through heat exchanger then reacted in reactor to dehydrate it into cyclohexanone. The product is passed through heat exchanger then into separator where hydrogen is removed as top product and cyclohexanone as bottom and sent into distillation column after passing through pump
Perform a MANUAL CALCULATION by hand energy balance to produce cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol from phenol.
