Abstract
A process for the esterification of terephthalic acid by reaction between a lower aliphatic alcohol and terephthalic acid, to form the corresponding ester, which is characterized by reacting 10-30 moles of the alcohol with 1 mole of terephthalic acid, at 230-300ºC and 100 -150 kg/cm2 gauge, in the presence or absence of a catalyst, distill off water and part of the alcohol from the reaction mixture, evaporating them instantaneously, by reducing the pressure to 5-50 kg/cm2 gauge, and maintaining the mixture of reaction remaining at 200-280ºC for a prescribed period of time.
