    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject high-quality compound in a short time by cooling an effluent gas of an ammoxidation reactor by a quenching column, absorbing a product in water by an absorbing column, separating the absorbed substance into a water and an organic layers and collecting the product from the organic layer. SOLUTION: A reactor effluent obtained by the ammoxidation of propylene or isobutylene is transferred to a quenching column and a hot effluent gas is cooled by bringing it into contact with mist. The cooled reactor effluent overhead is passed through a conduit 1 to the bottom of an absorbing column 5 to absorb crude acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile in water introduced through a conduit 3. Then the solution is sent through a first distillation column 13 to a first decanter 19 to form a first water layer and a first organic layer containing acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile. The first organic layer is transferred a second distillation column 27 to a second decanter 33 to form a second water layer and a second organic layer to recover the objective compound from the second organic layer.
