The invention discloses a method for preparing
laurolactam through extraction
rearrangement reaction of
cyclododecanone oxime, which comprises the steps of (1) adding a
cyclododecanone oxime solutionand an acidic catalyst into an extraction kettle in proportion, strongly stirring and mixing in the kettle to extract
cyclododecanone oxime from a
solvent phase to a catalyst phase, wherein the solution is liquid-liquid biphase in the reaction kettle, and the reaction is carried out in a catalyst phase; (2) removing extraction reaction heat and part of
rearrangement reaction heat from the materialin the extraction kettle through an outer
circulating pump and an outer circulating cooler, wherein one strand of material is led out from an outlet of the outer
circulating pump to serve as feed ofa rearrangement kettle, and the other strand of material is led out from an outlet of the outer circulating cooler to serve as an inlet medium of a
heat transfer inner coil of the rearrangement kettle; and (3) mixing the outlet material of the coil
pipe in the rearrangement kettle with the outlet material of the outer circulating cooler of the extraction kettle, feeding the mixture into the extraction kettle, and feeding the rearrangement kettle material into a downstream
neutralization process. The
heat transfer mode is small in
temperature difference in the rearrangement kettle, materials can be effectively prevented from being supercooled, and the conversion rate of reaction materials is guaranteed.
