Abstract
Terephthalic acid is recovered from a liquid reaction mixture obtained by the catalytic oxidation of a para-disubstituted benzene in the liquid phase with molecular oxygen in acetic acid as reaction medium by heating the liquid phase reaction mixture to 500 DEG to 600 DEG F. under a pressure sufficient to maintain a liquid phase of acetic acid sufficient to dissolve all the solids present, cooling the mixture to 300 DEG to 350 DEG F. under pressure sufficient to maintain a liquid acetic acid phase to crystallize out terephthalic acid, separating the terephthalic acid crystals at 300 DEG to 350 DEG F., washing the crystals with acetic acid and drying the washed crystals. Specified starting materials are p-dialkylbenzenes and p-alkyl-benzoic acids. The catalyst preferably comprises bromine and a heavy metal oxidation catalyst of A.W. 50 to 200, e.g. cobalt or manganese. The weight ratio of acetic acid to p-xylene in the starting mixture is 1 : 1 to 10 : 1 and when the ratio is less than 6 : 1 addition acetic acid is added prior to heating to 500 DEG to 600 DEG F. so that acetic acid is present in amounts of 6 to 10 parts by weight per part of total solids. The term total solids is defined. The terephthalic acid crystals have an average diameter not exceeding 300 microns. Hydrogen may be introduced into a reactive mixture which contains catalytic amounts of Co or Mn during the heating step to cause hydrogenation of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde.
