PROCESS OF PRODUCING ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, PROCESS OF PRODUCING PHENOL AND ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL CONTAINING BENZENE HYDROGENATION PRODUCTS, AND PROCESS OF HYDROGENATING STARTING BENZENE-POLLUTED ACETONE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC C07C31/10 C07C29/145 C07C5/10 C07C13/18 C07C13/20 C07C37/08 C07C39/04 C07C29/90 

FIELD: industrial organic synthesis.

SUBSTANCE: isopropyl alcohol production process comprises hydrogenation of starting acetone including from 0.01 to 10000 ppm benzene in presence of hydrogen and catalyst to give isopropyl alcohol and benzene hydrogenation products, acetone and benzene contained in feedstock being hydrogenated simultaneously. In its second embodiment, isopropyl alcohol production process comprises product separation stage. Process of producing phenol and isopropyl alcohol containing benzene hydrogenation products comprises stages: alkylation of benzene with isopropyl alcohol and/or propylene to form cumene, oxidation of resulting cumene into cumene hydroperoxide, acid cleavage of cumene hydroperoxide to produce phenol and acetone including from 0.01 to 10000 ppm benzene, preferably concentration of produced benzene-polluted acetone, and catalytic hydrogenation of benzene-polluted acetone into isopropyl alcohol containing benzene hydrogenation products, hydrogenation of benzene and acetone proceeding simultaneously.

EFFECT: enhanced process efficiency.
