Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented technology improves how well it makes hexadecylamine with high purity. It eliminates any extra steps like filtrating or rinsing out certain substances from crude lactic acid ammonia salt beforehand during its manufacture. This results in more efficient use of resources for producing these compounds while maintaining their quality level.

Problems solved by technology

The patent text discusses the production of caprolactam, which is used to make nylon 6. The current methods for producing caprolactam involve several steps, including the preparation of cyclohexanone oxime and the Beckmann rearrangement reaction. However, these methods have limitations such as low conversion rate, the need for additional refining steps, and increased production costs. Therefore, the technical problems addressed in this patent are improving the yield of caprolactam, simplifying the process, and reducing energy consumption.

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of caprolactam, which includes the following steps: (1) in the presence of an oximation catalyst without any organic solvent, cyclohexanone, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide are subjected to an ammoximation reaction in a water solution at 50-200 DEG C to prepare a solution containing cyclohexanone-oxime; (2) extracting the solution containing cyclohexanone-oxime with an inert organic solution to obtain an extract phase containing the cyclohexanone-oxime and a raffinate phase containing the oximation catalyst and water; (3) performing a Beckmann rearrangement reaction to the extract phase and fuming sulfuric acid, and performing a neutralization reaction to the product of the Beckmann rearrangement reaction with ammonia. The method can not only increase the yield of caprolactam but also omits a purifying process of cyclohexanone-oxime, thereby significantly reducing the process and production period. Meanwhile, the inert organic solvent can be recycled by recycling rearrangement reaction heat.
