Raschig process

From Free net encyclopedia

The Raschig process is a chemical process for producing hydroxylamine (used for making caprolactam for nylon manufacture). The process converts ammonium carbonate to ammonium nitrite, and this is converted to hydroxylamine disulfonate and thence to hydroxylamine sulfate.

Another similarly named process is the Raschig-Hooker process, an industrial process to create phenol. It is done by the hydrolysis of chlorobenzene. Hydrazine is produced in the Olin Raschig process.Template:Reaction-stub
