摘要:
The present invention relates to a multi-stage crystallization process which comprises the steps of feeding a solution of terephthalic acid or a slurry (raw slurry) containing terephthalic acid partially precipitated to a first crystallization vessel to precipitate the terephthalic acid therein; and feeding a slurry (crystallization slurry) containing the thus precipitated terephthalic acid sequentially to second and subsequent crystallization vessels, wherein while continuously supplying a cleaning solvent to a delivery conduit connecting the former-stage crystallization vessel and the next latter-stage crystallization vessel to each other, the crystallization slurry is fed through the delivery conduit. There is provided a multi-stage crystallization process using a solution of terephthalic acid or a slurry containing terephthalic acid partially precipitated as a raw material in which even when the process is operated for a period as long as several months, the delivery conduit is free from occurrence of clogging.
摘要:
In the production of an alicyclic aldehyde, a starting aromatic aldehyde is converted into an aromatic acetal for protecting the formyl group. The aromatic ring of the aromatic acetal is then hydrogenated to convert the aromatic acetal into an alicyclic acetal, which is then hydrolyzed to cleave the acetal protecting group to obtain the aimed alicyclic aldehyde.
摘要:
A process for the production of high-purity dimethyl 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate, which comprises esterifying 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid obtained by liquid phase oxidation of 2,6-dialkylnaphthalene with molecular oxygen in the presence of an oxidation catalyst, with methanol and then purifying a crude ester formed by the esterification, the crude ester being purified in the presence of an aromatic hydrocarbon as a solvent, in which impurities contained in a reaction product obtained by the esterification of 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid prepared by the liquid phase oxidation of 2,6-dialkylnaphthalene are effectively removed with simple procedures, oxidation catalyst metals are recovered, a crystal of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid formed by the oxidation of dialkylnaphthalene and/or its oxide derivative can be easily separated, and the oxidation catalyst to be brought into the step of producing dimethyl naphthalenedicarboxylate is recovered in the process of the production of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid and effectively used in the process of the production of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid.

There is disclosed a process for producing terephthalic acid which comprises oxidizing in a liquid-phase a starting raw material comprising p-xylene incorporated with 3 to 35% by weight of p-tolualdehyde based on the same at a temperature in the range of 120.degree. to 240.degree. C. by means of a molecular oxygen-containing gas by using a lower aliphatic monocarboxylic acid as a solvent in the presence of a catalyst comprising a manganese compound having 50 to 1000 ppm by weight of manganese atoms, a cobalt compound having 50 to 2000 ppm by weight of cobalt atoms and a bromine compound having 100 to 4000 ppm by weight of bromine atoms, each based on the solvent. By virtue of the above specific constitution, it is made possible to produce high-quality terephthalic acid with a high residual rate of the lower aliphatic monocarboxylic acid as a solvent minimized in its loss, thereby enabling the production of high-quality polyester with high whiteness from the above terephthalic acid and a glycol.
摘要:
A process for producing a carboxylated compound, which comprises reacting a carbonyl compound with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an organo-arsenic acid of the formula (1), ##STR1## wherein: R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl group which may be substituted or an aryl group which may be substituted,R.sup.2 is a hydroxyl group or the same group as that which defines R.sup.1,or alternatively, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may bond to each other to form a five-membered or six-membered ring together with As atoms to which these groups are bonded, andthe substituent(s) substituted on the above groups is/are selected from hydroxyl, carboxyl, carbonyl, sulfonyl, sulfonium, an amino group, an ammonium group, an alkyl group, an alkoxyl group and a halogen atom,while a water concentration in a reaction system is maintained at not more than 2% by weight, thereby to form a corresponding carboxylated compound.
