| 摘要 |
<p>Disclosed is a process for producing a high purity caprolactam which comprises converting cyclohexene obtained by the partial hydrogenation of benzene into cyclohexanol through hydration, converting the cyclohexanol into cyclohexanone through dehydrogenation, converting the cyclohexanone into cyclohexanone oxime through oximation and converting the cyclohexanone oxime into caprolactam through the Beckman rearrangement, characterized by comprising isolating and purifying the methylcyclopentanol from the cyclohexanol prior to use of such cyclohexanol in dehydrogenation and feeding the isolated methylcyclopentanol directly to oximation in order that the methylcyclopentanol is not fed to dehydrogenation. The process of the invention advantageously provides an economic method for producing a caprolactam with greater purity.</p> |
