A method has been proposed to separate CUA, cyclohexanone, and ε-caprolactam from a CUA solution generated by thermal decomposition of PXA (Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-25029
(see publication). However, the ε− obtained using this method
Caprolactam is a dilute solution of several wt% ε-caprolactam, and in addition to inorganic substances such as ammonium sulfate, chain and cyclic lactams such as amides and carboxylic acids mainly having 5 to 12 carbon atoms are produced during thermal decomposition. Contains many types of impurities that differ from the method used. For this reason, it has hitherto been difficult to efficiently recover high-purity ε-caprolactam that can be used as a raw material for nylon for textiles from this dilute solution of ε-caprolactam.

If the decomposition temperature is below 90°C, the decomposition of impurities will be insufficient and the purification effect will be poor. Furthermore, at temperatures above 150°C, decomposition of ε-caprolactam occurs, resulting in a decrease in yield.
