[Problem] The present invention provides a method for producing acrylamide from acrylonitrile using a biocatalyst with high productivity at low cost, in which reaction heat can be efficiently removed even at an industrial reaction scale. [Means for solving] The present invention relates to a method for producing acrylamide by reacting acrylonitrile in the presence of a biocatalyst, wherein the reaction is performed using a reactor having a reaction volume of 1 m 3 or more equipped with a tubular heat exchanger, and wherein the difference between a temperature of a cooling water to be introduced into the heat exchanger and a reaction temperature is maintained from 5 to 20°C. |
