Abstract

See full text

A new process for the production of epsilon caprolactam (CPL) from 6-aminocaproic acid (6-ACA) can be obtained either from traditional petro chemical processes or can be obtained from biochemical processes. With the proposed process, the reaction time for conversion of 6-aminocaproic acid to the Nylon 6 monomer is shorter and significant energy savings are possible which is advantageous for industrial scale production. The conversion of 6-aminocaproic acid to the Nylon 6 monomer runs at atmospheric pressure and in the final product epsilon caprolactam with no oligomers formation of significance is obtained.
