  • Publication number: 20170291870
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an amide compound solution comprising an amide compound and a surfactant. More specifically, the invention relates to an amide compound solution comprising amide compound, and 2.7˜20 mg of a cationic surfactant per 1 kg of the amide compound or 0.01˜10 mg of a C15˜C20 carboxylic acid or its salt as an anionic surfactant per 1 kg of the amide compound. The present invention provides an amide compound solution which is manufactured using a biocatalyst and which has a low level of foaming, and thereby improving the operability and yield when manufacturing an amide compound-based polymer.

  • Patent number: 9102590
    Abstract: There is provided a method for producing an aqueous acrylamide solution by producing acrylamide by reacting a composition including acrylonitrile with water, in which the composition including acrylonitrile includes 20 to 80 mg of methacrylonitrile per 1 kg of the total weight of the composition including acrylonitrile. According to the present invention, a production method allowing stable obtainment of an aqueous acrylamide solution can be provided as polymerization of the acrylamide can be suppressed without causing a decreas+455e in quality.
