Abstract:
The present invention relates to processes for purifying a composition containing (meth)acrylic acid, at least one impurity and water, wherein the composition has a water content in the range of 0.55 to 90, based on the composition, to form a purified phase containing (meth)acrylic acid and at least one impurity, wherein, in the purified phase, the quantity of at least one impurity is less than 7% by weight, based on (meth)acrylic acid in the purified phase.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of (meth)acrylic acid is disclosed that includes: (a) contacting a product gas containing (meth)acrylic acid obtained from a gas phase oxidation with an aqueous phase in a quenching unit to obtain an aqueous quenched phase, (b) distilling the quenched phase in a distillation unit to obtain a bottom product and a top product, and (c) crystallizing at least the bottom product in a crystallization unit to obtain pure (meth)acrylic acid. An organic separating agent can be added after the quenching unit, such as at the latest in the crystallization unit. Also disclosed are a device for the preparation of (meth)acrylic acid, a process for the preparation of a polymer from the (meth)acrylic acid, a device for the preparation of the polymer, a polymer obtainable by this process, and the use of the (meth)acrylic acid or the polymer in a chemical product, such as fibers or shaped articles.
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.
