    Abstract: A process for purifying caprolactam, which has been obtained by a Beckmann rearrangement, by extracting crude caprolactam with solvents, distilling the extract in the presence of alkali, and isolating pure caprolactam, wherein, in a first stage, caprolactam is distilled from the alkaline distillation residue at a bottom temperature of 130 DEG -160 DEG C., and is recycled to the distillation stage, the residue thus obtained is distilled, in a second stage, at a bottom temperature of 140 DEG -180 DEG C., and the distillate is treated with strongly acidic agents in a third stage and is then recycled to the extraction stage.

    Abstract: Approx. 70% pure H2SO4 is produced by extracting waste nitrating acid 2 - 6 times with benzene at 10 - 50 degrees C or by subjecting to equiv. counter-current extraction in extractor with 2 - 6 theor. plates; separating benzene phase; exposing acid phase to countercurrent air stream in trickling tower at 40 - 100 degrees C; and treating benzene free acid with 0.1 - 1 wt.% (referred to acid) of 30 - 40 wt.% H2O2. Process is continuous and gives acid suitable for other chemical purposes.
