Abstract
Process for the preparation of caprolactam by the catalytic rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime in which a vapour phase oxime is contacting a catalyst selected from an essentially amorphous, micro-mesoporous silica-alumina having a molar ratio SiO.sub.2 /Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 of 30 to 5000, a surface area of at least 500 m.sup.2 /g and a total pore volume of 0.3 to 1.3 ml/g.
