Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for extracting an impurity from an organic phase comprising caprolactam, comprising extracting the impurity by washing said organic phase as a discontinuous phase with an aqueous phase as a continuous phase, the ratio of the flow of the aqueous phase in m3/hr, to the flow of the organic phase in m3/hr, being 0.05 or less. Further the invention relates to a caprolactam production plant, wherein use can be made of a process of the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of making a cyclic amide. The methods include the step of heating a fermentation broth in a manner effective to produce a cyclic amide, wherein the fermentation broth includes an amino acid or salt thereof. The cyclic amide monomers can be polymerized in a manner effective to form a polyamide. One advantage of the present invention is that lysine and/or salt thereof can be heated to form α-amino-ε-caprolactam while the lysine is still in the fermentation broth. The lysine and/or salt thereof do not need to be purified from the fermentation broth prior to being heated to form α-amino-ε-caprolactam. For example, the fermentation broth does not need to be subjected to an ion exchange process prior to being heated to form α-amino-ε-caprolactam. Avoiding such an ion exchange process can substantially reduce manufacturing costs.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a process for purifying crude caprolactam. The process involves converting a first mixture of 6-amino capronitrile and water to a second mixture of caprolactam ammonia, water, high boilers and low boilers using a catalyst. The ammonia is removed from the second mixture to obtain a third mixture. Water is removed from the third mixture to give crude caprolactam, high boiler and low boilers. Purified caprolactam is then obtained by a series of distillation steps.
