“…(CHON of obtained quality can be used for the production of caprolactam) was proved using mathematical modeling in Aspen Plus. The advantages of NMP using are: a simple structure of the phase diagram (compared to a system that uses only AN , ), a high boiling point (compared to AN , ), thermal stability (compared to dimethylsulfoxide), a high value of relative volatility in the mixture with CHON (compared to dimethylsulfoxide), no limitations in the composition of the initial mixture for the flowsheet proposed. The reaction mixture with binary solvent NMP + AN can also be separated using this method, but there are limitations on the composition of the initial mixture, in particular, the reaction should be carried out in excess of AN with respect to NMP (3/1 and above) to get CHON of commercial quality.…”
