The present invention relates to a laurolactam preparation method and synthesis apparatus, and epoxidation and a rearrangement reaction are performed in the conversion of cyclododecene into cyclododecanone so that the preparation method can synthesize laurolactam having a higher purity with a higher selectivity and in a higher yield than a conventional preparation method.

Laurolactam preparation method and synthesis apparatus

A synthesis method and a synthesis device of cyclododecene according to the present invention have a high conversion rate of cyclododecatriene which is a reactant and a high selectivity of cyclododecene which is a required product, and even so, have an effect of significantly decreasing a reaction time. In addition, the method and the device have an excellent conversion rate of cyclododecatriene and an excellent selectivity of cyclododecene, while maintaining excellent reactivity without an organic solvent such as ethanol. Therefore, a volume of the reactor relative to an output of cyclododecene may be further decreased. Moreover, the method and the device may minimize costs for facilities and process, are practical, decrease a process time, and are industrially advantageous for mass production as compared with the conventional art.

Synthesis method and synthesis device for cyclododecene

A method for preparing cyclododecene and a synthesis device therefor, of the present invention, remarkably increase the conversion ratio of cyclododecatriene and selectivity of cyclododecene, can minimize the costs required for equipment and processing, are practical, reduce processing time, and are industrially advantageous to mass production in comparison with a conventional method and device.

Method for preparing cyclododecene and synthesis device therefor

The present invention pertains to a method for recovering a selective homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst and a method for reusing the recovered selective homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst. The method for recovering a selective homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst comprises: a step for synthesizing cyclododecene by selectively hydrogenating a first reaction solution containing cyclododecatriene, triphenylphosphine, formaldehyde, and ruthenium chloride, wherein a selective homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst is prepared during the selective hydrogenation reaction from the triphenylphosphine, formaldehyde, and ruthenium chloride to synthesize the cyclododecene; and a step for distilling and separating unreacted cyclododecatriene and cyclododecadiene, as well as the product cyclododecene, from a second reaction solution in which the cyclododecene synthesis has been completed, and recovering the selective homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst.
