ABSTRACT:
A process is provided for catalytically converting cyclohexanone oxime to epsilon caprolactam. The conversion is characterized by exceptionally high selectivity and reduced rate of catalyst aging, even at single pass conversion above 90 percent. The conversion catalyst is a medium pore size crystalline zeolite exemplified by ZSM-5 which has low acid activity. Recycling unconverted oxime provides excellent ultimate yield of caprolactam.
