Abstract:
Disclosed are processes and apparatuses for producing a crystalline product. The processes and apparatuses may extend the operational time of an evaporative crystallizer by providing an internal volume or large deposit inventory for fouling deposits to reside without impacting the unit operation.
Abstract:
A process comprising subjecting a composition comprising an alpha- or beta-hydroxycarboxylic acid, water, an extraction solvent, and an acid catalyst to extractive dehydration to form an unsaturated carboxylic acid product.
