Industrial Process Intensification Lab
Caprolactam manufacturing processes
Objectives: To improve the quality of the caprolactam acting between the steps subsequent to obtaining the mixture cyclohexanol / cyclohexanone and before the oxidation step. It also aims to improve energy efficiency and the use of raw materials.
Computational tools, integrating thermodynamic and kinteic aspects to develop models capable of optimizating and reproducing real operation conditions.
