METHOD FOR RECOVERING EPSILON-CAPROLACTAM AND POLYAMIDE 6 OLIGOMER, AND METHOD FOR
PRODUCING POLYAMIDE 6 |
(57) To provide a collection method capable of collecting ε-caprolactam and a polyamide
6 oligomer in high yield only by depolymerization using a small amount of water and
solid-liquid separation with a small energy consumption. The present invention is
a method for collecting ε-caprolactam and a polyamide 6 oligomer, including adding
a resin composition (A) containing at least polyamide 6 and at least one of water
(B) heated to 290°C or higher and 350°C or lower and a polyamide 6 oligomer aqueous
solution (B1) heated to 290°C or higher and 350°C or lower to make contact with each
other to obtain a reaction mixture (C) containing at least ε-caprolactam, a polyamide
6 oligomer, and water, and subjecting the reaction mixture (C) to a solid-liquid separation
(I) in a temperature range not higher than a boiling point of water at an operation
pressure to separate and collect a polyamide 6 oligomer in a solid phase, and an ε-caprolactam
aqueous solution in a liquid phase.
