Adipic Acid Synthesis via K/A Oil Oxidation in a Microreactor

A 90% yield of adipic acid was achieved in 6 seconds at 85°C using 55 wt% nitric acid. The dataset likely contains experimental results from the oxidation of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone (K/A oil) in a capillary microreactor system, investigating temperature, nitric acid concentration, flow rate ratios, and capillary length on selectivity and yield. The research was conducted by Guangxiao Li of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Use Cases

• Training predictive models for adipic acid yield based on reaction parameters like temperature and acid concentration.
• Optimizing microreactor design and operating conditions for highly exothermic gas-producing processes.
• Validating kinetic models for the oxidation of K/A oil with nitric acid.
• Benchmarking the performance of continuous-flow microreactor systems against batch processes.

Strengths

• Reports a high product yield of 90% under specific, documented conditions.
• Systematically investigates multiple key reaction variables (temperature, concentration, flow ratio, capillary length).
• Includes data on gas components and volumetric flow rates for reaction mechanism characterization.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
