    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the catalytic hydrogenation of adipodinitrile to hexamethylene diamine at a high temperature and at high pressure in the presence of catalysts based on elementary iron as the catalytic component, and ammonia as a solvent. The method is characterised i n that a) adipodinitrile is hydrogenated at temperatures of 70 to 220 ~C and a t pressures of 100 to 400 bar in the presence of catalysts based on elementary iron as the catalytic component, and ammonia as a solvent to produce a mixtu re containing adipodinitrile, 6-aminocapronitrile, hexamethylene diamine and hi gh boilers, until the sum of the 6-aminocapronitrile and adipodinitrile concentration is 1 to 50 wt. % in relation to the ammonia-free hydrogenation mixture; b) ammonia is separated out of the hydrogenation discharge; c) hexamethylene diamine is separated out of the remaining mixture; d) 6- aminocapronitrile and adipodinitrile are separated from the high boilers together or separately and e) 6-aminocapronitrile, adipodinitrile or their mixtures are returned to step a).

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for simultaneous preparation of 6-aminocapronitrile and hexamethylene diamine from adipodinitrile, comprising the following steps: a) hydrogenating adipodinitrile in the presence of a catalyst containing an element of the eight subgroup as catalytically active component to obtain a mixture containing 6-aminocapronitrile, hexamethylene diamine, adipodinitrile and high boilers; b) separating by distillation hexamethylene diamine from the mixture containing 6-aminocapronitrile, hexamethylene diamine, adipodinitrile and high boilers and c1) separating by distillation 6-aminocapronitrile and subsequently d1) separating by distillation adipodinitrile or c2) simultaneously separating by distillation 6-aminocapronitrile and adipodinitrile into separate fractions. The method is characterized in that the temperature of the bottom in steps d1) or c2) is below 185 DEG C.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for purifying crude caprolactam that has been obtained by: 1) reacting a mixture (I) containing 6-aminocapronitrile and water to form a mixture (II) containing caprolactam, ammonia, water, high boilers and low boilers in the presence of a catalyst followed by; 2) removing ammonia from mixture (II) while obtaining a mixture (III) that contains caprolactam, water, high boilers and low boilers, after which; 3) water is entirely or partially removed from mixture (III) while obtaining a crude caprolactam (IV) that contains caprolactam, high boilers and low boilers. The inventive method is characterized in that: a) the crude caprolactam and an inorganic acid, which has a boiling point higher that that of caprolactam under distillation conditions in accordance with subsequent steps b) to h), are fed to a first distillation device K1; b) the crude caprolactam and the inorganic acid are distilled in the first distillation device K1 during which a first partial flow in the bottom area and a second partial flow in the top area are withdrawn from the distillation device K1; c) the second partial flow from step b) is fed to a second distillation device K2; d) the second partial flow from step b) is distilled in the second distillation device K2 during which a first partial flow in the bottom area and a second partial flow in the top area are withdrawn from the distillation device K2; e) a first partial flow from step d) is fed to a third distillation device K3; f) the first partial flow from step d) is distilled in the third distillation device K3 during which a first partial flow in the bottom area and purified caprolactam in the top area are withdrawn from the distillation device K3, and; g) the first partial flow from step f) is fed to the first distillation device K1.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing cyclic lactams of formula (I I) by reacting a compound (I) of formula (I) with water in the presence of an organic, liquid dilution agent in the liquid phase. In formula (II), n and m respectively can have the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and the sum of n + m is at least 3, preferably at least 4 and R1 and R2 represent C1-C6 alkyl, C5-C7 cycloalkyl or C6-C12 aryl groups. In formula (I), R1, R2, m and n are defined as above and R represents nitrile, carboxylic acid amide and carboxylic acid groups. The inventive method is characterized in that a) compound (I) is reacted with water in the liquid phase in the presence of an organic, liquid dilution agent (III) to form a mixture (IV) containing a lactam (II) and said mixture (IV) is subjected to an aqueous treatment to obtain a two-phase system.
