FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: method involves a step for oxidising cyclohexane to obtain cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, a step for catalytic decomposition of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide on a heterogeneous catalyst to obtain a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone and a step for distilling cyclohexane, carried out at high temperature and pressure. Said steps form a single circulation loop in which the reaction mixture is circulated through transfer of cyclohexane vapour from the boiler of the distillation apparatus into an oxidation reactor, as well as due to subsequent spontaneous overflow under gravitational forces of the liquid reaction mixture from the oxidation reactor to a decomposition reactor and then into the boiler of the distillation apparatus. The cyclohexane oxidation reactor lies over the cyclohexyl hydroperoxide decomposition reactor which is on the same level as or below the level of the boiler of the distillation apparatus. Conversion of cyclohexane in the oxidation zone is not more than 1.0 mol % and conversion of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide in the decomposition zone is not less than 90.0 mol %.
EFFECT: high selectivity of the cyclohexane oxidation process.
