(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) When a realistic continuous production process of cycloolefins is to be constructed using these conventionally known methods, a catalyst slurry composed of a ruthenium catalyst and water (hereinafter, referred to as “ Aqueous phase) and the reaction product (hereinafter, referred to as
(Abbreviated as "oil phase"). If the components of the water phase, for example, catalysts and additives (solids, alkaline substances, acidic substances, etc.) are excessively mixed into the oil phase, clogging of the process pipes due to the mixed substances and the usual use Problems such as corrosion of materials are expected to occur. This problem can be solved to some extent, for example, by providing a filtration device for removing contaminants or a washing device, but the equipment and operation for that purpose are industrially easy. Is hard to say. Also, in the case of continuous partial hydrogenation, if catalysts and additives are mixed in and out of the oil phase, even if they are added little by little, some operation or equipment is required to keep the reaction system stable over the long term. It is clear that it will be.

Here, “excessive” refers to an amount exceeding the saturation solubility of the aqueous phase component in the oil phase under partial hydrogenation reaction conditions or phase separation conditions (for example, temperature or composition of the oil phase composed of reaction products). In general, it is a problem from about several times the saturation solubility, so the amount is referred to. More specifically, for example, according to the study of the present inventors, the aqueous phase
18 using the weight% of ZnSO 4 · 7H 2 O solution and the catalyst, hydrogen pressure 50k
g / cm 2 G, Partial hydrogenation of benzene at 150 ° C, 50% by mole of benzene, 50% by mole of cyclohexene and cyclohexane in total Is about 1% by weight and ZnSO
Since the saturation solubility of 4 is 1 ppm or less (100 ppm or less with respect to water dissolved in the oil phase), “excess” means an amount several times or more than these. In addition, in the case where the above components are excessively mixed, the mixing of the solid components in the aqueous phase occurs in most cases.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As described above, the present inventors have performed a partial hydrogenation reaction of a monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon continuously using various catalyst slurries, and not only the reaction results, A detailed study was also made on the separation of the slurry phase and the oil phase. As a result, when such a flow reaction is easily started, the constituent materials of the catalyst slurry, which should be originally held in the aqueous phase, are partially mixed into the oil phase,
It has been found that it leaks out and has a negative effect on later process operations and materials. In addition, it has been concluded that this phenomenon occurs quite universally, although the degree varies depending on the difference in the components of the catalyst slurry. Furthermore, this phenomenon is not only apparent by observing the reaction mixture after performing a normal batch reaction, but also in the flow reaction even if the oil phase and the slurry phase after the batch reaction seem to be clearly separated. It is also known that observations may be made, and to prevent this phenomenon, it is not enough to provide a stationary separation tank having a size large enough to separate most of the catalyst slurry from the oil phase. Also got.

The pretreatment of the catalyst slurry of the method of the present invention is performed in the absence of an oil phase component such as a raw material monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. However, the presence of a very small amount that can be dissolved in the slurry phase under the conditions during the treatment does not matter. Also,
The pretreatment of the catalyst slurry of the present invention is for the first time used in a partial hydrogenation reaction, and the catalyst slurry once subjected to the pretreatment of the present invention is used after the partial hydrogenation reaction,

By subjecting the catalyst slurry to the treatment of the present invention, an aqueous phase (catalyst slurry phase) is obtained in a continuous partial hydrogenation reaction.
The reason why the oil and the oil phase can be surely separated from each other and the mixing of the components of the catalyst slurry into the oil phase can be suppressed is not always clear, but probably, even in a compound generally referred to as hydrophilic, microscopically, Some have a lipophilic surface,
This is considered to be one of the causes of contamination of the oil phase, and the present inventors believe that the treatment of the present invention changes the lipophilic surface to hydrophilic.

After cooling the oil phase coming out of the oil-water separation standing tank, it passes through a polypropylene microporous filter, and becomes supersaturated by cooling, and the water in the oil phase that precipitates,
Alternatively, the components of the catalyst slurry excessively mixed in the oil phase are separated by filtration and aggregated, and these are removed from the oil phase,
The oil phase as a reaction product was continuously taken out. On the other hand, the water collected by coagulation and the components soluble in water were appropriately circulated to the reactor. This operation was continuously performed for 500 hours to obtain benzene, cyclohexene, and cyclohexane as partial hydrogenation reaction products.
