Purification method for laurolactam

Abstract

The present invention relates to a purification method for laurolactam, and more particularly, to a purification method capable of obtaining high-purity laurolactam substantially free of impurities. The present invention provides a purification method for laurolactam from a reaction product of a laurolactam synthesis process, the production method including: (S1) obtaining a first mixed solid by separating and removing low-boiling point materials through distillation of the reaction product; (S2) removing impurities suspended in a first mixed solution obtained by dissolving the first mixed solid in a good solvent; (S3) obtaining a second mixed solid precipitated by adding a poor solvent to the first mixed solution from which the impurities are removed; and (S4) evaporating a melt obtained by heating and melting the second mixed solid to obtain laurolactam in a gas phase and performing crystallization.
