- Process
- Oxidation
- Abbreviation
- The Cumene Oxidation (Hock process of 1944) consists of two fundamental Chemical Reactions: Firstly, Cumene is oxidized with Oxygen to become Cumene Hydroperoxide (CHP). Next, CHP is then cleaved to Phenol and Acetone by using a strong Mineral Acid as Catalyst. In these early years, the Cumene Oxidation Technology was based solely on Wet Oxidation since the 1960’s. Then, dry oxidation was introduced. New plants today would use Dry Oxidation Technologies because they are easier to control, operate, and require fewer numbers of equipments, as well as needing much lower consumption of Chemicals and are more Energy Efficient.
