Abstract

Abstract: Cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone are important chemical raw materials, which are the key intermediates in the manufacture of nylon 6 and nylon 66. The hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone has attracted much attention due to its low energy consumption, good atom economy and good selectivity. In this review, the hydrogenation mechanism of phenol is introduced, and the different kinds of metal catalysts in the hydrogenation of phenol are reviewed. Finally, the problems and development strategies in phenol hydrogenation are also discussed.

Key words: phenol, hydrogenation, catalyst, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone
