Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Laurolactam production from cyclododecane The process examined is similar to the one owned by Evonik. The process examined involves the following steps: cyclododecane oxidation to cyclododecanol; cyclododecanol dehydrogenation to cyclododecanone; cyclododecanone oximation; and, finally, oxime rearrangement to produce laurolactam. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Cyclododecanol, Cyclododecanone, and Laurolactam," Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Nylon-12, Polyamide 12, PA12, Huls, Degussa, Evonik, Oxime, Beckmann Rearrangement
