    Abstract: A process for purifying methyl methacrylate by feeding a product mixture comprising methanol, methyl methacrylate and alkali metal salts thereof, methacrolein, water and heavy byproducts to a distillation column having at least 15 trays. The product mixture and a C6-C7 hydrocarbon enter the distillation column above the middle of the distillation column. An overhead stream comprising C6-C7 hydrocarbon, methacrolein, methanol, water and methyl methacrylate and a bottoms stream comprising water, methyl methacrylate and its alkali metal salt and heavy byproducts are removed from the column.

    Abstract: A process for purifying methyl methacrylate by (a) feeding a mixture comprising methyl methacrylate and its alkali salt into a distillation column above the middle along with a hydrocarbon; (b) removing a first overhead stream; (c) removing a first bottoms stream; (d) feeding the first overhead stream to a first water separator to produce (i) a first organic phase and (ii) a first aqueous phase which enters a methanol drying column which produces a second overhead stream and a second bottoms stream; (e) feeding the first bottoms stream to a second water separator to produce (i) a second aqueous phase which is fed to an MMA stripper column which produces a third overhead stream and a third bottoms stream, and (ii) a second organic phase; (f) combining the second organic phase and the second bottoms stream into a third water separator which produces a third organic phase which enters an MMA drying column which produces a fourth bottoms stream, and (g) feeding the fourth bottoms stream to an MMA product column
