ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Caprolactam</b>. Caprolactam is the key raw material used in the production of nylon 6 fibers and resins, essential in textiles, carpets, and engineering plastics. Its high tensile strength and durability make it invaluable in automotive and industrial applications. Caprolactam is produced via the cyclohexanone oxime process. It is stored as solid flakes or granules and remains in high demand due to the growing global need for synthetic fibers and resins.</p> <h6>Raw Material</h6> <p><b>Toluene</b>. Toluene (also known as Methylbenzene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon mainly used as an industrial feedstock and as solvent. A significant part of toluene production is blended directly into gasoline pools. Other major use of this chemical is in the manufacture of the more valuable benzene, through hydrodealkylation. Most of toluene is produced via catalytic reforming of refinery streams (C6–C9 naphthas), along with benzene, xylenes, and C9-aromatics.</p>

ICC - Short Description: This study reviews the economics of a process for Caprolactam production from toluene. Initially, toluene is oxidized to benzoic acid, which is then hydrogenated to hexahydrobenzoic acid. The hexahydrobenzoic acid is reacted with nitrosyl sulfuric acid and oleum for caprolactam production. The economic analysis performed is based on a plant constructed in the United States.

Caprolactam Production from Phenol

This feasibility study examines the economics of a process producing Caprolactam from phenol located in the United States. Initially, phenol is hydrogenated to form cyclohexanone. The cyclohexanone is then submitted to an oximation reaction with hydroxylamine. Finally, the cyclohexanone oxime produced is converted to caprolactam by Beckmann rearrangement.
