Gas phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime is studied with B2O3/ZrO2as the catalyst at 250–350°C. It is shown that B2O3/ZrO2is highly active and selective for the synthesis of ε-caprolactam at 300–320°C. Activity and selectivity of the B2O3/ZrO2catalyst are compared with other boria catalysts supported on Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2, MgO, and HZSM-5 (Si/Al=25) on an 10% B2O3basis at 300°C. At this boria load level, B2O3/ZrO2produces the best catalysis for the lactam synthesis. The load level of boria affects the behavior of B2O3/ZrO2catalyst: increasing the boria load (≤20%) results in an increase of the lactam selectivity, but the lactam yield follows variation of the oxime conversion which shows a maximum at 10% boria load. Acidity and boria dispersion structure of the B2O3/ZrO2catalysts are measured, respectively, by NH3-TPD and IR spectroscopy. It is shown that the lactam yield is correlated with the number of intermediate strong acid sites that are responsible for ammonia desorption at 200–400°C. The optimum boria load (10%) of the B2O3/ZrO2catalyst corresponds to two overlayers of boria on the support. The first layer of boria interacts directly with the support surface with tetrahedral BO4as the structure unit; the other layers of boria are constructed by trigonal BO3units.
