[0004] Chinese patent CN 103539770 A discloses a microchannel reaction technology for preparing ε-caprolactone based on the oxidation of cyclohexanone with peracetic acid, and Chinese patent CN 106279093 A discloses a method for preparing ε-caprolactone based on the oxidation of cyclohexanone with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. For the microchannel reaction technology of ε-caprolactone, the above two processes need to prepare peroxyacid first and then use peroxyacid to oxidize cyclohexanone. The process is relatively long, and the organic acid after the reaction must be separated and recovered. For the re-preparation of peroxyacid, the separation cost is relatively high, and it is difficult in large-scale production
