Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for production of (meth)acrylic acid, whereby first a crude (meth)acrylic acid is produced and this crude (meth)acrylic acid is then continuously purified, whereby the continuous purification of the crude (meth)acrylic acid comprises the following process steps: a) in a composition comprising (meth)acrylic acid and impurities, precipitating the impurities in crystalline form from the composition; and b) separating the crystalline impurities precipitated from the composition. The invention also relates to the (meth)acrylic acid obtainable by this process, a device for production of (meth)acrylic acid, the use of the device or of a purification device for production of (meth)acrylic acid, (meth)acrylic acid, water-absorbing polymers, the use of water-absorbing polymers as well as fibers, sheets, foams and composites.
