    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for integration of a reactor for polyolefin pyrolysis with the effluent processing train for a steam cracker. The polyolefins can correspond to, for example, polyolefins in plastic waste. Integrating a process for polyolefin pyrolysis with a steam cracker processing train can allow a mixture of polymers to be converted to monomer units while reducing or minimizing costs and/or equipment footprint. This can allow for direct conversion of polyolefins to the light olefin monomers in high yield while significantly lowering capital and energy usage due to integration with a steam cracking process train. The integration can be enabled in part by selecting feeds with appropriate mixtures of various polymer types and/or by limiting the volume of the plastic waste pyrolysis product relative to the volume from the steam cracker(s) in the steam cracking process train. By selecting plastic waste and/or other polyolefin sources with an appropriate mixture of polyolefins as the feedstock, the resulting polyolefin pyrolysis product can be separated in a steam cracking process train to produce separate fractions for various polymer grade small olefin products.

    Abstract: In a process for producing phenol and cyclohexanone, reaction components comprising cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide and an acid catalyst are supplied to a cleavage reaction zone, mixed under mixing conditions effective to combine the reaction components into a reaction mixture and at least part of the cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide in the reaction mixture is converted under cleavage conditions to into phenol and cyclohexanone; and a cleavage effluent is recovered from the cleavage reaction zone. The cleavage and mixing conditions are controlled such that the ratio tR/tM is at least 10, where tR is the half-life of cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide under the cleavage conditions and tM is the time required after injection of a tracer material into the reaction mixture under the mixing conditions for at least 95% by volume of the entire reaction mixture to attain at least 95% of the volume-averaged tracer material concentration.

    Abstract: In a process for producing phenol, a mixture of cyclohexylbenzene with from 10 to 90 wt % of a solvent is contacted with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst and under conditions effective to oxidize at least a portion of the cyclohexylbenzene to cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide. The catalyst comprises a cyclic imide having an imide group of formula (I): wherein X represents an oxygen atom, a hydroxyl group, or an acyloxy group. At least a portion of the oxygen is dissolved in the mixture and the liquid phase molar ratio of cyclohexylbenzene to oxygen dissolved in the mixture is less than or equal to 20,000:1.
