摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the purification of an α-hydroxy acid on an industrial scale, in which the method involves: (a) subjecting an aqueous stream containing mainly α-hydroxy acid (1) to an extraction step, with the formation of an aqueous place containing mainly α-hydroxy acid (2), (b) concentrating the aqueous phase containing mainly α-hydroxy acid (2) by means of evaporation of water under reduced pressure, with the formation of a concentrated α-hydroxy acid solution in water (3), and (c) subjecting the concentrated α-hydroxy acid solution (3) to a crystallization, with formation of pure α-hydroxy acid (4), where (i) the concentrated α-hydroxy acid solution (3) is directly cooled in a melting crystallization device, and/or (ii) the concentrated α-hydroxy acid solution (3) is diluted with water and crystallization is brought about in one or more cooling crystallization devices and/or evaporative crystallization devices, and/or (iii) crystallization is brought about in one or more adiabatic crystallization devices.

The invention pertains to a process for for preparing a succinic acid ester comprising the steps of - bringing an aqueous liquid comprising succinic acid, alcohol, and at least 5 wt. % of a dissolved chloride salt selected from magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, and zinc chloride, calculated on the weight of the liquid, to reaction conditions, thereby obtaining a succinic acid ester, and - recovering the succinic acid ester and an aqueous solution comprising the dissolved chloride salt. It has been found that the process according to the invention shows a high yield and has a high reaction rate. Additionally, it has been found that the process makes it possible to carry out the separation of the succinic acid ester from the aqueous reaction medium in high yield.
