    Abstract: Reaction mixtures obtained by Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime with sulfuric acid or oleum are neutralized by a process which comprises the following steps: (a) mixing the reaction mixture with recycled ammonium sulfate mother liquor whose concentration is chosen so that no solid ammonium sulfate is precipitated during the neutralization, (b) neutralization by feeding gaseous ammonia which contains water or an aqueous ammonium sulfate solution in finely divided liquid form through a plurality of nozzle orifices into the solution of the reaction mixture in the ammonium sulfate mother liquor at elevated temperatures, (c) separation of crude lactam from the aqueous ammonium sulfate solution, (d) evaporation of the ammonium sulfate solution under reduced pressure and with separation of the crystalline ammonium sulfate from the ammonium sulfate mother liquor and (e) recycling of the ammonium sulfate mother liquor to stage a).

    Abstract: Caprolactam is recovered from caprolactam distillation low boilers or high boilers or mixtures thereof by the following steps: (a) crystallizing a low or high boiler or a mixture thereof to form purified capro-lactam crystals and a mother liquor, (b) separating off the purified caprolactam crystals to leave a mother liquor, (c) recycling from 5 to 90% by weight of the mother liquor of stage (b) into stage (a) and transferring the remainder of the mother liquor into the subsequent stage (d), (d) crystallizing the remaining mother liquor portion from stage (c) to form caprolactam crystals and a mother liquor, separating off the caprolactam crystals of stage (e) (d) and recycling the same into stage (a) to leave a mother liquor, (f) recycling from 20 to 99% by weight of mother liquor of stage (e) into stage (d) and channeling out the remainder of the impurity-containing mother liquor of stage (e).
