As analyzed by the background technology of the application, the existing caprolactam refining method adopts a crystallization solvent to dissolve a gas-phase rearrangement product, and has the technical problems of easily causing pollution of the solvent to the product and three wastes discharge in the recovery process of the recrystallization solvent, thereby increasing the refining cost of the caprolactam. In order to solve the problem, the application provides a refining and purifying method of caprolactam.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method for refining and purifying caprolactam comprises:

s2, cooling and crystallizing the caprolactam fraction to obtain a caprolactam crystallization material;
step S3, sweating the caprolactam crystallization material, and collecting the rest material to obtain a caprolactam product.
According to the caprolactam refining and purifying method provided by the application, the first fraction and the second fraction are removed by controlling different distillation temperatures in the negative pressure rectification process, the caprolactam fraction is cooled and crystallized to obtain a caprolactam crystallization material, the caprolactam crystallization material is subjected to perspiration to remove sweat, and the rest material is collected to obtain a high-purity caprolactam product, and meanwhile, a solvent is not adopted in the whole process, so that the method is more environment-friendly and safer, and the refining cost of caprolactam is effectively saved.
In the step S1, in the negative pressure rectification process, different first rectification temperature, second rectification temperature and third rectification temperature are respectively set from low to high, so as to facilitate removal of low boiling point impurities and high boiling point impurities contained in the caprolactam crude product, obtain caprolactam fraction with higher purity, and facilitate subsequent crystallization and sweating through cooling, thereby obtaining a caprolactam product with high purity.
The above-mentioned first distillation temperature is set to 50-70 deg.c to facilitate the removal of a first fraction comprising at least one of cyclohexanone, cyclohexenone, 2-methoxycyclohexanone and 3-methoxycyclohexanone at a corresponding negative pressure, the second distillation temperature is set to 71-95 deg.c to facilitate the removal of a second fraction comprising at least one of cyclohexanone oxime and N-methylcaprolactam at a corresponding negative pressure, and then the third distillation temperature is set to 96-110 deg.c to collect a caprolactam fraction, and other substances having a higher boiling point are separated from the caprolactam fraction to obtain a caprolactam fraction having a higher caprolactam content.
In addition, by collecting the first fraction and the second fraction separately, the two fractions are also beneficial to respectively carrying out subsequent treatment according to different content of caprolactam contained in the two fractions, and the first fraction is collected at a lower temperature, so that the first fraction contains low content of caprolactam, the first fraction is subsequently subjected to separate recovery treatment, the collection temperature of the second fraction is similar to that of the caprolactam fraction, and part of caprolactam is contained in the second fraction, so that the second fraction is applied to the next recovery treatment to improve the yield of caprolactam products.
And subsequently cooling and crystallizing the caprolactam fraction, removing impurities which are not crystallized through solid-liquid separation to obtain caprolactam crystallization materials, sweating the caprolactam crystallization materials, removing sweat generated through solid-liquid separation, and collecting the rest materials to obtain a high-purity caprolactam product.
Such means of solid-liquid separation include, but are not limited to, filtration and centrifugation.

In step S1, in order to be able to collect the first fraction, the second fraction and the caprolactam fraction separately by distillation at a lower temperature, it is preferable to control the pressure of the negative pressure distillation to 0.1 to 1kPa, and particularly when the pressure of the negative pressure distillation is controlled to 0.4 to 0.6kPa, it is more advantageous to obtain a caprolactam fraction having a higher caprolactam content.
In the step S2, the lower the crystallization temperature is, the longer the heat preservation time is, the higher the yield of the obtained caprolactam crystallization material is, but the lower the preparation efficiency of the caprolactam crystallization material is, in order to improve the preparation efficiency on the basis of ensuring the higher yield of the caprolactam crystallization material, the temperature of cooling crystallization is preferably set to be 30-60 ℃, the heat preservation time is 1-10h, the crystallization temperature is lower than 30 ℃, the impurity content in the obtained caprolactam crystallization material is high, the purity of the prepared caprolactam product is low, the crystallization temperature is higher than 60 ℃, and the crystallization of the caprolactam fraction is incomplete, so that the yield of the caprolactam product is low. The heat preservation time is shorter than 1h, the crystallization of caprolactam fraction is incomplete, the yield of caprolactam products is low, the heat preservation time is longer than 10h, the yield of caprolactam crystallization materials is obviously improved, and a great amount of manpower and material resources are wasted.
In order to make the crystallization of the caprolactam fraction more complete, in the step S2, the caprolactam fraction is preferably reduced to the crystallization temperature by means of gradient cooling, and especially when the rate of gradient cooling is controlled to be 0.15-1 ℃/h, the yield of the caprolactam crystalline material is higher. When the gradient cooling rate is lower than 0.15 ℃/h, although the crystallization of the caprolactam fraction can be more sufficient, the crystallization efficiency is too low, the yield of the caprolactam product is not obviously improved, and a large amount of manpower and material resources are wasted. When the gradient cooling rate is higher than 1 ℃/h, the crystallization of the caprolactam fraction is insufficient, resulting in a decrease in the yield of caprolactam product.
Typically, but not limited to, in step S1, the pressure of the negative pressure rectification is, for example, 0.1kPa, 0.2kPa, 0.3kPa, 0.4kPa, 0.5kPa, 0.6kPa, 0.7kPa, 0.8kPa, 0.9kPa or 1.0kPa; in step S2, the temperature of cooling crystallization is 30 ℃, 32 ℃, 35 ℃, 38 ℃, 40 ℃, 42 ℃, 45 ℃, 48 ℃, 50 ℃, 52 ℃, 55 ℃, 58 ℃ or 60 ℃ and the heat preservation time is 1h, 2h, 5h, 8h or 10h; the gradient cooling rate is, for example, 0.15 ℃/h, 0.2 ℃/h, 0.3 ℃/h, 0.4 ℃/h, 0.5 ℃/h, 0.8 ℃/h or 1 ℃/h.
In order to make the caprolactam material sweat more completely, in the step S3, the temperature is preferably raised to the sweat temperature by adopting a gradient temperature raising mode, especially when the gradient temperature raising rate is 0.15-1 ℃/h, the caprolactam crystal material sweat more sufficiently, the purity of the prepared caprolactam product is also higher, and when the gradient temperature raising rate is lower than 0.15 ℃/h, although the caprolactam fraction sweat more sufficiently, the sweat efficiency is too low, the yield of the caprolactam product is not obviously improved, and a large amount of manpower and material resources are wasted. When the gradient heating rate is higher than 1 ℃/h, the caprolactam fraction is not sweated sufficiently, resulting in a decrease in purity of the caprolactam product.
In order to more completely remove perspiration from the perspiration of the caprolactam material, it is preferred that step S3 comprises: the caprolactam crystallization material is subjected to perspiration, a third fraction is collected at a first perspiration temperature, a fourth fraction is collected at a second perspiration temperature, wherein the first perspiration temperature is 60-65 ℃, and the second perspiration temperature is 66-68.9 ℃, so that the third fraction and the fourth fraction are further separated from the caprolactam crystallization material, and a caprolactam product with higher purity is obtained.
The third fraction has a caprolactam content of less than 99.5%, the fourth fraction has a caprolactam content of less than 99.9%, and the caprolactam content is higher than that of the third fraction. The different first perspiration temperature and the second perspiration temperature are set to be favorable for separating and collecting fractions with different caprolactam contents, so that the subsequent recovery by adopting different methods is facilitated.
Typically, but not limited to, in step S3, the rate of gradient heating during sweating is, for example, 0.15 ℃/h, 0.2 ℃/h, 0.3 ℃/h, 0.4 ℃/h, 0.5 ℃/h, 0.8 ℃/h or 1.0 ℃/h; the first sweating temperature is 60 ℃, 61 ℃, 62 ℃, 63 ℃, 64 ℃ or 65 ℃, and the second sweating temperature is 66 ℃, 66.5 ℃, 67 ℃, 67.5 ℃, 68 ℃, 68.5 ℃ or 68.9 ℃. In order to further increase the yield of caprolactam product and avoid the loss of caprolactam, the second fraction and/or the third fraction is preferably returned to the step S1 for negative pressure rectification to recover caprolactam mixed in the second fraction and/or the third fraction, and in addition, since the fourth fraction is collected at a higher second sweating temperature, the fourth fraction contains higher caprolactam, the fourth fraction is preferably returned to the step S2 for cooling crystallization to fully recover caprolactam contained in the fourth fraction.
The crude caprolactam product is prepared by removing a solution from a reaction solution prepared by vapor phase rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime, and the vapor phase rearrangement temperature is 330-400 ℃ to further improve the caprolactam preparation efficiency.
In order to improve the utilization efficiency of energy and reduce the waste of energy, it is preferable that the above-mentioned gas phase rearrangement is performed in a tube reactor to heat the carrier gas containing cyclohexanone oxime by using the heat released during the gas phase Beckmann rearrangement reaction.
