Abstract:
Recovery of caprolactam and of an alkali metal carbonate from distillation residues which are obtained in the purification of caprolactam and contain caprolactam and/or oligomers and/or polymers of caprolactam and also alkali metal hydroxides by(a) melting the distillation residues, the caprolactam and/or oligomers and/or polymers of caprolactam and alkali metal hydroxides,(b) continuously removing caprolactam from the melt,(c) after removing caprolactam, cooling the melt and obtaining a residue,(d) dissolving the residue thus obtained in water and(e) subjecting the aqueous solution thus obtained to combustion with the formation of an alkali metal carbonateis described.
Abstract:
Caprolactam is purified by oxidative treatment in which mixtures which essentially contain the caprolactam to be purified and unsaturated lactams are treated with oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas mixture in an alkaline medium.
