A B S T R A C T The invention relates to a method for the preparation of cyclohexanol and/or cyclohexanone by hydrogenating benzene to cyclohexene, hydrating the cyclohexene to cyclohexanol and/or oxidating it to cyclohexanone, recovering the cyclohexanol and/or cyclohexanone, and returning unconverted benzene and/or cyclohexene to the hydrogenating stop. The method according to the invention is characterized in that the mixture of cyclohexane with benzene and/or cyclohexene, which has also been obtained during the separation of cyclohexanol from the reaction mixture of the hydration step and/or cyclohexanone from the reaction mixture of the oxidation step, is subjected to a dehydrogenation reaction, and the benzene thus obtained is returned to the hydrogenation step. The method according to the invention has the great advantage that the difficult separation of cyclohexane from mixtures with benzene and/or cyclohexene can be dispensed with . Losses of expensive extractive distillation agent are avoided. Neither is any cyclohexane left as by- product for wich a use will have to be found. In the hydrogenation step a higher degree of benzene conversion can be applied, so that economic process operation has become possible.
