This report presents the economics of Laurolactam production from cyclododecane in the United States. Initially, cyclododecane is oxidized to cyclododecanol. Subsequently, the cyclododecanol obtained is dehydrogenated to cyclododecanone. Then, the cyclododecanone is submitted to an oximation reaction with hydroxylamine. Finally, the cyclododecanone oxime produced is converted to laurolactam by Beckmann rearrangement.
This report concerns the production of Laurolactam from cyclododecane in the United States. This report reviews a photonitrozation process similar to the one owned by Arkema. Initially, cyclododecane is submitted to PNC with nitrosyl chloride. The oxime produced is then subjected to Beckmann rearrangement and laurolactam is formed.
This report presents the economics of Laurolactam production from cyclododecanone. The process examined involves the oximation of cyclododecanone raw material and the subsequent rearrengement of the cyclododecanone oxime formed to yield Laurolactam. The economic analysis performed assumes a plant located in the United States.
