Abstract: A process for producing high-purity ?-caprolactam includes the following steps: (1) cyclohexanone oxime is subjected to a gas phase Beckmann rearrangement reaction; (2) the reaction product obtained from step (1) is successively subjected to gas-liquid separation, solvent removal, and light impurity removal to produce a crude caprolactam; (3) the crude caprolactam is subjected to crystallization to produce a crystallization product and a crystallization mother liquor; (4) the crystallization mother liquor is subjected to crystallization to produce a crystal slurry. At least a part of the crystal slurry is returned to step (2) and/or step (3). The purification process can obtain high-purity caprolactam through only one crystallization and one mother liquor crystallization without reducing the overall yield of caprolactam.
