Abstract

A process for the preparation of terephthalic acid for production of polyesters by direct esterification comprises compressing terephthalic acid or a mixture of terephthalic acid with other organic bifunctional acid or acids, e.g. adipic, sebacic, isophthalic, bibenzoic acids, or aromatic oxycarboxylic acids and thereafter optionally crushing the same, to make the bulk density thereof at least 0.8 and the average particle diameter thereof not more than 8 millimetres. Esters may be prepared from the acids so produced by reacting the same with a glycol to form bis-(hydroxyalkyl)-terephthalate or a low molecular weight polymer thereof, and then polymerizing the result of the reaction product by heating under a reduced pressure. In an example to a slurry of monopotassium terephthalate with water heated to 90 DEG C. phthalic anhydride was added and the reaction product filtered and subsequently made into a slurry with hot water and again filtered and the resultant cake dried and crushed to produce terephthalic acid having a bulk density of 0.52. The latter was charged into an autoclave with ethylene glycol, zinc acetate and titanium oxide and the contents and the mixture heated in an atmosphere of nitrogen. When the reaction was complete the molten content was transferred to a polymerization vessel and polymerized for three hours under a reduced pressure at 285 DEG C. in the presence of phosphoric acid and antimony trioxide. Other examples are given.ALSO:Polyesters are produced by reacting terephthalic acid or a mixture of terephthalic acid and at least one different organic dibasic acid with a glycol and polymerizing the reaction product by heating under reduced pressure wherein the acid or acid mixture is compressed and thereafter optionally crushed, the compression and crushing being such as to give a product having a bulk density of at least 0.8 and an average particle diameter of not more than 8 mm.
