Abstract

Pure e -caprolactam is obtained from the neutralized reaction mixture from the Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime by sulphuric acid, by intimately mixing the two-phase mixture (consisting of an aqueous lower layer containing sulphates and a small quantity of lactam, and an organic layer containing lactam, some water and a small quantity of sulphates) with about 2-10 parts by weight of benzene, calculated on the lactam content of the mixture, separating the upper layer of the resulting two-phase mixture, distilling off benzene from this layer, and finally distilling off lactam. The separated aqueous lower layer may be washed with benzene, which is then used for a further extraction of neutralized reaction mixture. The separated benzene layer may be washed with water or weakly acidified water prior to distillation of the benzene, and the wash water may be added to the reaction mixture of a fresh batch before or during the mixing with benzene. Specifications 594,263 and 703,019 are referred to.
