Abstract: A method for separating an oxidation catalyst, an oxidation reaction product and a reaction solvent from a reaction mixture obtained by oxidizing a substrate in the presence of an oxidation catalyst containing an aromatic N-hydroxyimide compound and a transition metal, the method including (i) distilling the reaction solvent from the reaction mixture in the presence of an organic solvent which is immiscible with the reaction solvent to obtain the reaction mixture containing the reaction solvent in an amount of 5 parts by weight or less per one part by weight of the N-hydroxyimide compound, and the oxidation catalyst precipitated, and (ii) separating the reaction mixture obtained in the step (i) by a solid-liquid separation method into the oxidation product and the oxidation catalyst.

Abstract: A process for preparing a ketone, an alcohol and/or a hydroperoxide is provided by reacting a hydrocarbon with molecular oxygen in the presence of a cyclic N-hydroxyimide and a compound of a transition metal, in which an oxygen-containing gas is supplied in a reaction system and at the same time a gas containing 1 to-about 8.59, by volume of oxygen is discharged from the reaction system. This process is excellent in productivity and safety and produces the desired products at a high selectivity.

Abstract: Cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol and/or cyclohexyl hydroperoxide are prepared at a high productivity by allowing cyclohexane to be in contact with an oxygen-containing gas using a catalyst comprising a cyclic N-hydroxyimide and a transition metal compound in the presence of cyclohexanone and optional cyclohexanol.

Abstract: A process for preparing a ketone, an alcohol and/or a hydroperoxide is provided by reacting a hydrocarbon with molecular oxygen in the presence of a cyclic N-hydroxyimide and a compound of a transition metal, in which an oxygen-containing gas is supplied in a reaction system and at the same time a gas containing 1 to 10% by volume of oxygen is discharged from the reaction system. This process is excellent in productivity and safety and produces the desired products at a high selectivity.

Abstract: A process is disclosed wherein a zeolite molding having a high mechanical strength is produced by contacting a pentasil type zeolite molding with water.
