Abstract:
A process for producing a high purity caprolactam is disclosed in which a crude caprolactam obtained by a catalytic rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime is subjected(1) to mixing, while stirring, with at least one hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbons and alicyclic hydrocarbons to form a liquid-liquid, two-layer liquid mixture, and then crystallizing caprolactam out of the liquid mixture;(2) to mixing with both at least one hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbons and alicyclic hydrocarbons, and water to form a liquid mixture, separating the liquid mixture into a hydrocarbon layer and a water layer, and then recovering caprolactam from the water layer; or(3) to distillation in the co-presence of at least one aliphatic saturated hydrocarbon of 10 to 18 carbon atoms.

Substantially pure crystals of .epsilon.-caprolactam-diblocked .omega.,.omega.'-diisocyanato-1,3-dimethylbenzene melting at 110.degree. C. or higher are advantageously used as a hardener of powder coating composition.
Abstract:
A process for preparing pure N-alkyl-lactams obtained by the reaction, in an organic solvent medium of, the corresponding lactamate of an alkali metal and an alkyl halide. This process consists of treating a reactive mixture of N-alkyl-lactam containing the corresponding cyclo-alkylene imine as an impurity with a current of carbon dioxide, until the cyclo-alkylene imine precipitates completely in the form of an insoluble carbonate, and then separating it from the precipitate.

Abstract:
PROCESS AND APPARTUS FOR PREPARING A CATALYST FOR THE ANIONIC POLYMERIZATION OF LACTAMS, IN WHICH A LACTAM AND A ALKALI METAL HYDROXIDE ARE CONTINOUSLY FED INTO A FIRST REACTION VESSEL THE LIQUID LEVEL IN SAID VESSEL BEING KEPT CONSTANT BY FEEDING A PORTION OF THE REACTION MIXTURE INTO A SECOND VESSEL AND THE LIQUID LEVEL IN SAID SECOND VESSEL BEING KEPT CONSTANT BY DISCHARGINGG A CONTINUOUS STREAM OF THE REACTION MIXTURE FROM SAID VESSEL. THE WATER FORMED IN THE REACTION VESSELS IS EVAPORATED BY HEATING IN VACUO AND THE VAPOUR THUS FORMED IS PASSED THROUGH A CONDENSER IN WHICH THE LACTAM IS CONDENSED AND RETURNED TO THE REACTION VESSELS.
