Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical synthesis, in particular to a method for preparing ε-caprolactone by using cyclohexanone as a raw material by an electrochemical method. Background technique [0002] ε-caprolactone is a synthetic monomer of polycaprolactone, a biodegradable material, and it is also a research hotspot in the field of polymer material development. However, my country has been in a relatively backward situation in the industrial production of ε-caprolactone for a long time, mainly relying on imports, high prices, and unstable supply, which also restricts the development and promotion of downstream products to a large extent. [0003] The production technology of ε-caprolactone is currently monopolized by a few foreign companies, such as DAICEL Co., Ltd. of Japan and Ingevity Corporation of the United States, etc., while there is only one industrial production of ε-caprolactone in China. device. [0004] Th...
