    Abstract: A process for the purification of crude caprolactam, prepared by reaction of a mixture comprising 6-aminocapronitrile and water, comprises a three stage distillation process with feeding of the crude caprolactam and an inorganic acid having a b. pt. above the b. pt. of the caprolactam to a first distillation column. A process for the purification of crude caprolactam, prepared by reaction of a mixture comprising 6-aminocapronitrile and water in the presence of a catalyst to form a mixture comprising caprolactam, ammonia, water and high and low b. pt. byproducts followed by removal of ammonia to yield a mixture of caprolactam, water and high and low b. pt. byproducts followed by at least partial removal of water to yield a crude caprolactam containing caprolactam and high and low b. pt. byproducts, comprises: (a) feeding of the crude caprolactam and an inorganic acid having a b. pt. above the b. pt. of the caprolactam to a first distillation column; (b) distillation of the crude caprolactam and inorganic acid to form a sump stream and an overhead stream; (c) feeding of the overhead stream to a second distillation column; (d) distillation of the stream to form a sump stream and overhead stream; (e) feeding of the overhead stream to a third distillation column; (f) distillation of the overhead stream to form a sump stream and purified caprolactam in the overhead stream; and (g) feeding of the sump stream to the first distillation column.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing 4-[aminoalkoxy]benzylamines of the general formula (I) by catalytically hydrogenating 4-[aminoalkoxy]benzonitriles of the general formula (II) where, in the compounds of the general formulae I and II, R 1 is C 1 -C 8 -alkylene, R 2 and R 3 are each independently C 1 -C 8 -alkyl or are joined to give a ring which may additionally contain a heteroatom, which comprises carrying out the hydrogenation at elevated pressure and elevated temperatures. The invention further relates to a process for preparing the intermediate (II).

    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.
