Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR RECOVERING E-CAPROLATAM FRO SOLUTIONS OF E-CAPROLACTAM AND SULPHURIC ACID AND SO3 IS DISCLOSED WHEREIN AMMONIUM DIHYDROGEN PHOSPHATE OR ALKALI METAL DIHYDROGEN PHOSPHATE IS ADDED TO THE LACTAM, SULPHURIC ACID SOLUTION AND THE SOLUTION THEN SUBJECTED TO EXTRACTION BY A SUBSTANTIALLY WATER IMMISCIBLE SOLVENT FOR THE LACTAM WHEREBY THE LACTAM IS EXTRACTED FROM THE SULPHURIC ACID SOLUTION AND THE LACTAM FREE SULPHURIC ACID SOLUTION CAN BE USED TO PROCESS ROCK PHOSPHATE TO GYPSUM AND PHOSPHORIC ACID AND THE PHOSPHORIC ACID BEING CONVERTED TO AMMONIUM OR ALKALI METAL DIHYDROGEN PHOSPHATE TO BE USED IN TREATING FURTHER SOLUTIONS OF LACTAM AND SULPHURIC ACID.
Abstract:
A process for synthesizing an oxime by reacting an organic carbonyl compound with a hydroxylammonium sulfate and ammonium hydrogen sulfate in the presence of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate whereby an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid and ammonium sulfate is obtained after separating the oxime product therefrom. The phosphoric acid, ammonium sulfate solution can be used in processing rock phosphate with the aid of nitric acid to product a fertilizer composition having a N to P2O5 ratio of approximately 1:1.
Abstract:
epsilon -CAPROLACTAM IS RECOVERED FROM A Beckmann rearrangement mixture of the lactam and aqueous sulfuric acid by simultaneously neutralizing the rearrangement mixture with ammonia at a pressure of 1-5 atmospheres and crystallizing out ammonium sulfate, the heat liberated by the neutralization reaction is removed from the system by evaporating a portion of the water from the solution. At the conditions employed hydrolysis of the lactam is substantially reduced if not entirely avoided.
Abstract:
1287302 Oximes STAMICARBON NV 11 Nov 1969 [12 Nov 1968] 55238/69 Heading C2C In a continuous process for the production of an oxime in which an aqueous reaction medium is recycled between a hydroxylamine saltforming zone in which nitrate ions are catalytically reduced with molecular hydrogen and an oxime formation zone in which hydroxylamine salt is reacted with a ketone or an aldehyde, the nitrate ions in the said aqueous reaction medium are replenished by absorption of nitrous gases, i.e. a mixture of NO 2 and NO therein to form nitric acid. The preparation is described of cyclohexanone oxime, referring to Figs. 1-3 (not shown).
