Vapor-liquid equilibria for the ternary systems of cyclohexanol,cyclohexanone and diglycol;

Liquid phase in-situ hydrogenation of phenol for synthesis of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol;

Intrinsic kinetics of dehydrogenetion of cyclopentanol was investigated in the presence of Raney-Ni catalyst.

Process for the production of cyclopentanone by dehydrogenation of cyclopentanol was studied in the presence of Raney-Ni catalyst.

7%, and the selectivity of cyclopentanol was 93% after 4 h reaction at the conditions of temperature 130~140 (°C), rotate rate 600 r/min, catalyst 30 g, H_2O: cyclopentene=5.

The preparation methods of dimethylamine hydrochloride/chromium trioxide oxidation reagent and the selective oxidation reaction of cyclohexenol to cyclohexenone with this catalyst are studied.

Study on the kinetics of allyl alcohol epoxidition to glycidol over Ti-MWW catalyst;

Enzymatic resolution of glycidol improved by water-mimicking solvent;

Carboxylic acid was peroxidized in organic solvents catalyzed by lipase and glycidol was synthesized from allyl alcohol catalyzed by acid peroxide.

This article describes a new technique of preparing cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone from benzene: firstly, benzene is converted into cyclohexene or cyclohexylbenzene, from which cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone are prepared.
