METHOD FOR PRODUCING 6-AMINOHEXANOIC ACID OR CAPROLACTAM FROM LYSINE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing caprolactam or 6-aminohexanoic acid from lysine; and the production method of the present invention can create 6-aminohexanoic acid or caprolactam, having physical properties that are the same as those of existing nylon 6, by using lysine which is mass produced as an additive for feeds, thus improving economic viability, and without involving the use of fossil starting materials or toxic chemical catalysts, thus lessening the generation of environmentally polluting substances such as carbon dioxide.
