Method for coproducing cyclohexanol and alkanol

The invention provides a method for coproducing cyclohexanol and alkanol. The method comprises the following steps: preparing benzene and/or cyclohexane into cyclohexene, carrying out addition-esterification on the cyclohexene in a catalytic distillation tower, obtaining carboxylic acid/ cyclohexyl carboxylate material flow at the bottom of the tower, hydrogenating the material flow to obtain the cyclohexanol and the alkanol. The esterification and hydrogenation reactions in the method have high conversion rate and selectivity, and high atom economy; the process is environment-friendly; the alkanol is coproduced when the cyclohexanol is produced, in particular, when acetic acid is used, the cheap acetic acid is converted into ethanol with high cost and large market capacity in an indirect manner, so as to increase the economical efficiency of the process.
