Since the main component of the reaction mother liquor is acetic acid, a part of the reaction mother liquor can be returned as it is to the reaction system and reused. However, usually, most or all of the reaction mother liquor is subjected to a lifting treatment to remove acetic acid solvent, Water is separated by evaporation. The hydrous acetic acid thus pumped up is reused after removing some water in the distillation column. On the other hand, the residue after the lifting is usually made into an aqueous solution by adding 1 to 10 times by weight of water to the residue to dissolve the metal component of the catalyst in the residue. At this time, when a small amount of terephthalic acid or other reaction by-products contained in the residue is precipitated as a solid content, it is preferable to separate it. Obtained aqueous solution (hereinafter referred to as "stock solution")
In addition to containing cobalt acetate and manganese acetate as catalyst components, it also contains residual acetic acid and acidic byproducts.

And the rate of sedimentation is reduced, which is not preferable. When the pH is 10 or more, precipitation and sedimentation of the precipitate are almost constant, but the amount of the precipitate washed with water increases, which is not economical. In the conventional method using a batch type precipitation tank, the pH of the aqueous solution was controlled in two steps and a certain aging time was required in order to perform good filtration separation after precipitation, but in the method of the present invention, The pH can be adjusted to 8.5 or more at a time, and the precipitate can be immediately obtained.
