2. Description of the Related Art A reaction product gas obtained by subjecting propylene and / or acrolein to gas-phase catalytic oxidation with molecular oxygen using a solid catalyst in the presence of steam is as follows:
Usually, it is cooled, washed and recovered as an aqueous solution. Usually, water is separated from the aqueous solution by extraction with a solvent or by azeotropic dehydration, and the resulting crude acrylic acid solution is distilled to separate and recover acrylic acid.

[0003] In addition to acrylic acid, acrolein, acetic acid, other aldehydes and the like are produced by the reaction, and these are contained in the crude acrylic acid aqueous solution. Of these, acrolein can be easily separated because of its large boiling point difference from acrylic acid. In addition, the amount of other aldehydes produced is extremely small and hardly causes a practical problem. However, although acetic acid differs from acrylic acid depending on the oxidation catalyst and reaction conditions, it usually produces about 1 to 15 wt% as a by-product. Separation and removal of acetic acid from the viewpoint of recovery of active ingredients and reduction of waste load. Important from.

However, in the direct separation method by distillation, since the boiling point difference between acrylic acid and acetic acid is small, the reflux ratio and the number of stages in the distillation column must be greatly increased. There is a problem that a polymer of acrylic acid is easily formed in the distillation column in the separation column. With the conventional azeotropic distillation method, acetic acid can be separated from acrylic acid, but acetic acid is discarded in the wastewater, which increases the drainage load, and depending on the method, acrylic acid is mixed in the recovered acetic acid. However, at the same time as the purity is reduced, acrylic acid is lost, which is not a preferable method.

The present inventors have conducted intensive studies for the purpose of separating acrylic acid and acetic acid from a crude acrylic acid solution having no such problems and recovering purified acetic acid. As a result, the crude acrylic acid aqueous solution was extracted with a solvent. About the obtained crude acrylic acid solution, after distilling acetic acid using the azeotropic solvent in the first distillation column and concentrating it, the second distillation column does not substantially distill acrylic acid at the top of the column. The inventors have found that purified acetic acid can be recovered by distilling off acetic acid and the solvent, followed by azeotropic distillation with water in a third distillation column to remove the solvent, and thus have accomplished the present invention.
