Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing caprolactam from cyclohexanone oxime and equipment used in the method. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for preparing caprolactam by gas-phase Beckmann rearrangement reaction of cyclohexanone oxime and the equipment used in the method. Background technique
[0002] The conversion of cyclohexanone oxime to caprolactam through liquid-phase Beckmann rearrangement reaction is a technology commonly used in industry at present, and the catalyst is mostly concentrated sulfuric acid or oleum. The selectivity of the method to caprolactam can reach more than 98.5%. The caprolactam produced by this method accounts for about 90% of the caprolactam production in the world. The biggest disadvantage of this method is that a large amount of low-value ammonium sulfate is produced by-product, followed by serious equipment corrosion and environmental pollution.
