As an industrial method for producing adipic acid, cyclohexanol or a mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol (KA oil) is used.
Is generally performed using a mineral acid. Nitric acid is often used as the mineral acid, and rarely, a mixed acid of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and boric acid may be used. As a method for purifying the adipic acid obtained by the oxidation reaction, a water washing method is usually used. When this purification method is adopted, mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and boric acid are usually contained in the product adipic acid in an amount of 4 to 10 ppm. When a polyamide is produced by a conventional method using adipic acid containing the above concentration of mineral acid, not only the amidation reaction is promoted, but also the crosslinking reaction of a high molecular weight polymer is simultaneously promoted, and as a result, a gel is formed on the polyamide film. And the resulting polyamide is of low industrial value. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a high-molecular-weight polyamide which is low in gel-like substance and is industrially useful as a material for injection molding, a packaging material such as a film or sheet, and a material for monofilaments and fibers.
