Abstract:
A process for catalytically converting cyclohexanone oxime to epsilon caprolactam. The conversion catalyst is a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a Constraint Index greater than 1 and a reduced surface acidity. The surface acidity is reduced by selective surface dealumination of the crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite by contacting the zeolite with dicarboxylic acid, such as oxalic acid.
Abstract:
A process for preparing caprolactam by Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime with oleum at from 85.degree. to 125.degree. C. in a plurality of rearrangement stages arranged in series entails returning a portion of the reaction mixture leaving the last rearrangement stage to at least one of the preceding rearrangement stages.
Abstract:
A process for producing an amide which comprises subjecting an oxime to liquid phase rearrangement in the presence of phosphorus pentoxide and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of N,N-dialkyl amides, N-alkyl cyclic amides and dialkyl sulfoxides and optionally a fluorine-containing strong said or its derivative. Said process can rearrange an oxime to a corresponding amide in a good yield under mild reaction conditions in the presence of a less stoichiometric amount of a catalyst.
Abstract:
In the production of .epsilon.-caprolactam from cyclohexanon oxime in gaseous phase in the presence of solid catalysts, the catalysts, no matter whether they may have worked, are brought into contact with either aqueous solution of ammonium salts and at least one basic material or ammonia water.
Abstract:
.epsilon.-caprolactam is produced by gas phase catalytic synthesis with high selectivity of lactam wherein cyclohexanone oxime is brought into contact with a crystalline metallo-silicate catalyst having Si/metal atomic ratio is more than 500. The metal moiety in the catalyst is Ga, Fe, B, Zr, Bi, Nb, Zn, Be, Cr, La, Ti, Hf, V and/or Cu.
Abstract:
The present invention is a process for preparing lactams having 8 to 15 carbon atoms by the Beckmann rearrangement of the corresponding oximes in a solution of an organic solvent by means of 0.5 to 10% by weight referred to the oxime of an acid derivative acting as a catalyst. The anhydrides of organic sulfonic acids or of sulfuric acid half esters or mixed anhydrides of organic sulfonic acid and anhydrides of sulfuric acid half esters are used as the catalysts.
Abstract:
Process for preparing caprolactam from cyclohexanone oxime by passing the oxime, preferably dissolved in a solvent, over a zeolite having a SiO.sub.2 /Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 of at least 12 and a Constraint Index of from 1 to 12.

Abstract:
A process for the continuous preparation of .epsilon.-caprolactam by Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone-oxime, dissolved in a solvent which is inert toward oleum and is immiscible with oleum and water, at an elevated temperature, with removal of the heat of rearrangement by evaporation of the solvent, wherein oleum containing caprolactam is circulated successively through a conveying zone, a mixing zone, a boiling zone and a separating zone, upstream of the conveying zone oleum is added at the rate at which it is consumed, in the mixing zone cyclohexanone-oxime dissolved in solvent is added under turbulent conditions, in the boiling zone the heat of rearrangement is removed in a conventional manner by evaporating the solvent and recycling the condensate, and in the separating zone the reaction mixture is separated into a solvent phase, from which solvent is withdrawn at the rate at which the phase is formed, and a caprolactam-containing oleum phase, which is removed at the rate at which it is formed.
Abstract:
A process for the evaporation of cyclohexanone oxime, wherein the cyclohexanone oxime is evaporated in the presence of an inert gas at a superatmospheric pressure of at least 300 Torr at 110.degree. to 160.degree. C, the evaporation temperature being governed by the inert gas pressure or by the ratio of cyclohexanone oxime to inert gas.
Abstract:
A process for removing sulfuric acid from reaction mixtures containing sulfuric acid and .epsilon.-caprolactam by treating the sulfuric acid with ammonia and sulfur dioxide to produce ammonium sulfate salts and reducing the ammonium sulfate salts to ammonia and sulfur dioxide.
