Japanese Patent JPS6232732
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
This invention provides processes for the production of benzene from anthracene, 9,10-anthraquinone from anthracene, and benzene from 9,10-anthraquinone. In the conversion of anthracene to 9,10-anthraquinone, anthracene is reacted with a molecular oxygen-containing gas (e.g., air) in the presence of a catalyst and promotor at an elevated temperature (65 DEG to 205 DEG C.). To convert 9,10-anthraquinone to benzene, the anthraquinone is thermally cracked, with or without a suitable catalyst, at a temperature of at least 425 DEG C. An example of a suitable catalyst is synthetic zeolite.
