Abstract

The extraction of lactam from lactam oil with benzene, toluene, cyclohexane, and cyclohexane-benzene and cyclohexane-cyclohexanol mixtures, followed by its backwashing with water, was studied. The distribution ratios of caprolactam and main characteristics of the resulting aqueous lactam (permanganate number, content of volatile bases) were determined.
