CAPROLACTAM

EC / List no.: 203-313-2
CAS no.: 105-60-2
Mol. formula: C6H11NO

Caprolactam (CPL) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)5C(O)NH.
This colourless solid is a lactam (a cyclic amide) of caproic acid. Global demand for this compound is approximately five million tons per year, and the vast majority is used to make Nylon 6 filament, fiber, and plastics.

Synthesis and production
Caprolactam was first described in the late 1800s when it was prepared by the cyclization of ε-aminocaproic acid, the product of the hydrolysis of caprolactam.
World demand for caprolactam was estimated to reach five million tons per year for 2015.
90% of caprolactam produced is used to make filament and fiber, 10% for plastics, and a small amount is used as a chemical intermediate.
Due to its commercial significance, many methods have been developed for the production of caprolactam. Caprolactam was estimated that 90% of all caprolactam is synthesised from cyclohexanone (1), which is first converted to its oxime (2).
Treatment of this oxime with acid induces the Beckmann rearrangement to give caprolactam (3)

The immediate product of the acid-induced rearrangement is the bisulfate salt of caprolactam.
This salt is neutralized with ammonia to release the free lactam and cogenerate ammonium sulfate.
In optimizing the industrial practices, much attention is directed toward minimizing the production of ammonium salts.

The other major industrial route involves formation of the oxime from cyclohexane using nitrosyl chloride, and this method accounts for 10% of world production.
The advantage of this method is that cyclohexane is less expensive than cyclohexanone.

Other paths to caprolactam include the depolymerization of waste Nylon 6, and the reaction of caprolactone with ammonia.
At bench scale, the reaction between cyclohexanone with hydrazoic acid to give caprolactam in the Schmidt reaction has been reported.

Uses
Almost all caprolactam produced goes into the manufacture of Nylon 6. The conversion entails a ring-opening polymerization.

In situ anionic polymerization is employed for cast nylon production where conversion from caprolactam to Nylon 6 takes place inside a mold.
In conjunction with endless fiber processing the term thermoplastic resin transfer molding (T-RTM) is often used.

Caprolactam is also used in the synthesis of several pharmaceutical drugs including pentylenetetrazol, meptazinol, and laurocapram.

Caprolactam is a clear to milky white-colored solution with a mild, disagreeable odor.
Contact may cause slight irritation to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.
May be mildly toxic by ingestion. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment.
Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment.
As a liquid it can easily penetrate the soil and contaminate groundwater and nearby streams.
Used to make other chemicals.

Epsilon-caprolactam is a member of the class of caprolactams that is azepane substituted by an oxo group at position 2.
Caprolactam has a role as a human blood serum metabolite.

Caprolactam is used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers.
Acute (short-term) exposure to caprolactam may result in irritation and burning of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin in humans.
Headaches, malaise, confusion, and nervous irritation have been observed in workers exposed to caprolactam by inhalation.
Chronic (long-term) exposure of workers to caprolactam has been observed to cause peeling of the hands and some eye, nose, and throat irritation, but no other effects on general health.
EPA has not classified caprolactam for carcinogenicity.

Production of polyamide fibers and resins

Caprolactam is the main raw material for the production of polyamide fiber and resin.
Polyamide fiber, in the United States, is called nylon; in China, is called Chinlon because it was first commercialized in Jinzhou Petrochemical.
Chinlon 66 is a polycondensation product of adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine.
Polyamide 6 obtained from the ring-opening polymerization of caprolactam.
At present, the master of caprolactam production technology is mainly Sinopec Baling Petrochemical Design Institute and Yueyang Petrochemical Design Institute.
Cyclohexanone and phenol are the main raw materials for the production of caprolactam:
Cyclohexanone is a kind of important chemical raw material with wide range of application fields.
Caprolactam is colorless and odorless transparent liquid with mint and acetone odor.
Caprolactam is slightly soluble in water and soluble in ether, alcohol and other organic solvents.
Caprolactam is mainly used as the intermediates of caprolactam and others diacids and their salts.
Because of its strong solubility, low toxicity and relatively low price, it is widely used as solvent and thinner for various paints, paints, inks and resins, polishes and thinners for leather processing, photographic and magnetic recording material and coating solvent, and so on.
At the same time, it can also be used for preparation of some downstream derivatives, such as cyclohexanone-formaldehyde resin, peroxy cyclohexanone, o-methyl phenol, antioxidant 4010 and so on.
Phenol is also called phenolic acid, is one of the simplest phenolic organic matter with weak acidity.
Pure phenol is a colorless crystal which exhibits pink color in the air due to being oxidized in a small part.
Caprolactam is toxic, corrosive, being slightly soluble in water at room temperature, easily soluble in alcohol and other organic solvents; when the temperature is higher than 65 ℃, it is miscible with water in any proportion.
Concentrated solution has strong corrosiveness on the skin.
Mistakenly contact with skin can be treated through rinsing with alcohol.
Addition of bromine water into the phenol solution will generate white precipitate immediately (2, 4, 6-Tribromophenol);
being capable of having substitution reaction in the benzene ring with halogen, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, etc.;
being able to have reaction with ferric chloride so that the solution is turned into a purple color;
addition of bromine water into the solution will immediately generate white precipitate (2, 4, 6-Tribrominephenol);
Caprolactam is mainly used in the manufacture of phenolic resin, bisphenol A and caprolactam.
The production of phenolic resin is its biggest use, accounting for more than half of phenol production.

Chemical properties
Caprolactam is a white‚ hygroscopic‚ crystalline solid with a characteristic odor.
Most caprolactam is used to make nylon 6‚ which is the starting material for fibers that have many uses in textile manufacture and in the industrial sector.
Polymerization is caprolactam's most important chemical property.
The ring is hydrolyzed at 260 to 270°C. Liner polymer chains are formed by polycondensation.
Caprolactam also reacts directly by polyaddition with the polymer chains.
These reactions lead to an equilibrium between the polymer and caprolactam that favors a 90% conversion to polymer.

Uses:
(1) The majority of caprolactam is used in the production of polycaprolactam, of which about 90% is used for the production of synthetic fibers, that is, Kaplon, 10% used as plastic for the manufacture of gears, bearings, pipe, medical equipment and electrical, insulating materials.
Also used in coatings, plastics and for the synthesis of lysine in a small amount and so on.
(2) Caprolactam is mainly used for the preparation of caprolactam resin, fiber and leather, also used as pharmaceutical raw materials.
(3) Caprolactam can be used as polymer solvent, for the manufacture of polyamide-based synthetic fiber and the fixing phase of gas chromatography.
manufacture of synthetic fibers of the polyamide type (Perlon); solvent for high mol wt polymers; precursor of nylon-6, q.v.
Monomer for manufacture of polycaprolactam (Nylon 6) used in carpets, textiles, clothing, and tires

Preparation
About 90% of the caprolactam is produced by the conventional cyclohexanone process.
Cyclohexanone is obtained by catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane with air? or by hydrogenation of phenol and dehydrogenation of the cyclohexanol byproduct.
The conversion of cyclohexanone to cyclohexanone oxime followed by Beckmann rearrangement gives caprolactam.
About 10% of caprolactam is produced by photonitrosation of cyclohexane or by nitrosation of cyclohexanecarboxylic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid.

Production method
In 1943, the I.G. Farben AG Company, through the cyclohexanone-hydroxylamine synthesis (now referred to as the oxime), had first realized the industrial production of caprolactam.
With the development of synthetic fiber industry, there have been successively toluene (ANIA), photo nitrosation (PNC), caprolactone (UCC), cyclohexane nitration and cyclohexanone nitration.
The newly developed ammoxidation of cyclohexanone has attracted much attention because of its simplicity in the production of cyclohexanone oximation without the use of hydroxylamine.
1. Oxime method: first apply the high-purity cyclohexanone and hydroxylamine sulfate for condensation reaction at 80-110 °C to generate cyclohexanone oxime.
The isolated cyclohexanone oxime is converted into crude caprolactam at 80-110°C via Beckmann Rearrangement reaction using sulfuric acid as catalyst, followed by extraction, distillation and crystallization to obtain high purity caprolactam.
The raw material cyclohexanone used in oxime method can be obtained from the hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanol, followed by dehydrogenation; alternatively by cyclohexane air oxidation into cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone with the separated cyclohexanol catalytic dehydrogenation generating ring Pentanone.
2. Toluene; toluene, under the effect of the cobalt oxide catalyst, can be subject to oxidation to generate benzoic acid which with liquid hydrogenation using the palladium catalyst on the activated carbon carrier to generate hexahydrobenzoic acid, which, in fuming sulfuric acid, reacts with nitrosyl sulfuric acid to generate caprolactam.
Toluene method, due to that toluene is rich in resources with low production cost, has a certain development prospects.
3. Photo nitrosation method: cyclohexane, under the irradiation of the mercury vapor lamp can have photochemical reaction with chlorinated nitrosyl, further being direct converted into cyclohexanone oxime hydrochloride, which can be further converted into caprolactam by the Beckman rearrangement in the presence of fuming sulfuric acid.
4. Phenol method: phenol, in the presence of nickel catalyst, is subject to hydrogenation to obtain cyclohexanol with purification and dehydrogenation to generate crude cyclohexanone.
Cyclohexanone, after being purified, can react with hydroxylamine to cyclohexanone oxime, followed by Beckmann shift to generate caprolactam.
The sulfuric acid in the reaction product can neutralized with ammonia to generate by-product of thiamine.
Crude caprolactam can be purified by a series of chemical and physical treatments to obtain pure caprolactam.

Description
Caprolactam, CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2NHCO, is a solid material composed of white flakes.
Caprolactam is soluble in water and has a specific gravity (in a 70% solution)of 1.05, which is heavier than water.
Caprolactam may also be encountered as a molten material.
Caprolactam is toxic by inhalation, with a TLV of (vapor) 5 ppm in air and (dust) 1 mg/m3 of air.
The primary uses are in the manufacture of synthetic fibers, plastics, film, coatings, and polyurethanes.

Clear to milky white-colored solution with a mild, disagreeable odor.
Contact may cause slight irritation to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.
May be mildly toxic by ingestion.
The primary hazard is the threat to the environment.
Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment.
As a liquid 2-Oxohexamethylenimine can easily penetrate the soil and contaminate groundwater and nearby streams. Used to make other chemicals.

Caprolactam is a crystalline cyclic amide with a melting point of 70 °C.
Caprolactam is soluble in water, most oxygenated and chlorinated solvents, and some hydrocarbons.

Because ε-caprolactam is the only common caprolactam isomer, the ε is usually dropped.
Caprolactam derives its name from ε-aminocaproic acid, or 6-aminohexanoic acid; in principle, the lactam is formed when the terminal carboxylic acid and amino groups react to form the amide.

The amide formation reaction succeeds only when run in dilute solution; otherwise, aminocaproic acid polymerizes (which is a good thing; see below).
The commercial synthesis consists of the acid-catalyzed Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime, which was discovered by Prussian chemist and Nobel Prize winner Otto Wallach way back in 1900.
Numerous articles and patents have been devoted to improving this method ever since.

Wallach didn’t live to see it, but caprolactam turned out to be extremely valuable.
In 1938, Paul Schlack at IG Farben found that heating caprolactam neat to 260 °C causes the ring to open and the terminal functional groups to react to form a long-chain polyamide.

This polymer later became known as “nylon 6”*.
Caprolactam can be formed into high-strength fibers, resins, and films that have dozens of end-use applications ranging from clothing to violin strings to automotive mechanical parts.

Uses
Caprolactam is primarily used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers (especially Nylon 6).
Caprolactam is also used in brush bristles, textile stiffeners, film coatings, synthetic leather, plastics,
plasticizers, paint vehicles, cross-linking for polyurethanes, and in the synthesis of lysine.

Physical Properties
The chemical formula for caprolactam is C6H11ON, and its molecular weight is 113.16 g/mol.
Caprolactam is a white, hygroscopic, crystalline solid or leaflets that are very soluble in water.
Caprolactam has a unique, unpleasant odor; the odor threshold has not been established.
The vapor pressure of caprolactam is 1.9 × 10-3 mm Hg at 25 °C, and its log octanol/water partition coefficient (log Kow) is -0.19.

The heart of our Leuna production is Caprolactam, the most indispensable intermediate in the production of Nylon 6.
To insure the most pure and high-quality production possible, our Caprolactam quality is monitored and tested through a Caprolactam-specific gas chromatic (GC) analytical system.
We offer Caprolactam both in liquid form and in flakes (bulk density: 520 ± 10 kg/m³). The storage temperature should not exceed 45 °C.

Production and use
Production in the United States in 1993 was reported to be 649 825 tonnes (United States International Trade Commission, 1994).
Estimated production capacities of caprolactam in 1990 were reported as (thousand tonnes): United States, 640; western Europe, 860; eastern Europe, 895; Japan, 500; Latin America, 150; Asia, 290 (Fisher& Crescentini, 1992).
Caprolactam is used primarily in the manufacture of synthetic fibres and resins (especially nylon 6), bristles, film, coatings; synthetic leather, plasticizers and paint vehicles; as a cross-linking agent for polyurethanes; and in the synthesis of the amino acid lysine.

Occurrence
Occupational exposure
According to the 1981–83 National Occupational Exposure Survey, approximately 25 000 workers in the United States were potentially exposed to caprolactam (see General Remarks).
Occupational exposures to caprolactam may occur in theNmanufacture of the chemical and of polycaprolactam (nylon 6) fibres and resins.

Environmental occurrence
Caprolactam may be released to the environment during its manufacture and use in the preparation of resins and plastics.
Caprolactam has been detected in surface water, groundwater and drinking-water.

Caprolactam can be used as a precursor for the production of nylon-6 by ring-opening polymerization.
Caprolactam is also microwave irradiated with caprolactone in the presence of an anionic catalyst to yield poly(ε caprolactam-co-ε-caprolactone).

Caprolactam is one of the most widely used chemical intermediates.
However, almost all of its annual production is consumed as the monomer for nylon 6 fibers and plastics.
Caprolactam is a white, hygroscopic, crystalline solid at room temperature.
Caprolactam production technology is based on the key intermediate cyclohexanone, which is usually produced by the oxidation of cyclohexane, but can also be produced from phenol.
A disadvantage of current processes is the large amounts of ammonium sulfate produced.
Producers are working on new processes to allow for a significant reduction in this by-product.
Caprolactam has a low level of toxicity.
Nylon carpets and rugs are now being recycled, and the nylon 6 fiber used can be depolymerized back to caprolactam.
Uses other than fibers are in nylon resins for engineering plastics and automotive applications.

Caprolactam is an organic compound, this colourless solid is a lactam or a cyclic amide of caproic acid.
Approximately 4.5 billion kilograms are produced annually.
Caprolactam is the precursor to Nylon 6, a widely used synthetic polymer.
Firstly, Caprolactam was prepared by the cyclization of ε-aminocaproic acid, the product of the hydrolysis of caprolactam.
Given the commercial significance of Nylon-6, many methods have been developed for the production of caprolactam :

Most of the caprolactam is synthesised from cyclohexanone, which is first converted to its oxime. Treatment of this oxime with acid induces the Beckmann rearrangement to give caprolactam.

The other major industrial route involves formation of the oxime from cyclohexane using nitrosyl chloride.
The advantage of this method is that cyclohexane is less expensive than cyclohexanone.

Caprolactam production Process
Nylon 6 is produced by ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactam.
More than 98% of the ε-caprolactam is produced using cyclohexanone as an intermediate.
Cyclohexanone is obtained either by hydrogenation of phenol, or by catalytic and non-catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane with air or by hydration of cyclohexene to cyclohexanol followed by dehydrogenation.
The most common cyclohexanone production process is promoted by oxidation of cyclohexane in the presence of catalytic metal salts to obtain a reaction mixture known as KA-oil, which contains cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol and other impurities.
Cyclohexanone, after being purified from KA-oil, reacts with hydroxylamine (usually added as hydroxylamine sulphate) to produce cyclohexanone oxime .
In this reaction, the sulphuric acid formed is neutralized using ammonia and ammonium sulphate is obtained as by-product.
To avoid the formation of ammonium sulphate, the ammoximation of cyclohexanone has been recently proposed.
In the ammoximation of cyclohexanone, aqueous H2O2 and ammonia react with cyclohexanone by means of solid titanosilicate as a catalyst (known as TS-1).
After oximation, the Beckmann rearrangement (BR) of cyclohexanone oxime in oleum media produces -caprolactam. However, besides -caprolactam, other by-products are formed in the Beckmann rearrangement process.

Caprolactam is used for industrial production of solid and liquid formulations, as an intermediate, as a monomer for the manufacture of polyamide, polymers, thermoplastics as a monomer for resins, a monomer for thermosetting resins, as a plasticizer for the polyamide, as an agent for leather tanning, processing, impregnation, a component of paints, varnishes and coatings, as a laboratory reagent, as a component of paints, varnishes and coatings in consumer use.
