In Examples 7 to 10, the effect of adding an alkali compound is clear in Reference Example 1 and in Example 11 in comparison with Reference Example 2.
  • BG in the storage of BG, when it is difficult to completely replace the gas phase part with nitrogen, even if it is in contact with the remaining oxygen for a long time, BG with little quality deterioration can be obtained, and the color tone is good. Polyester can be obtained. Even if BG containing a certain amount of cyclic acetal compound is used according to the present invention, PBT with good color tone can be obtained, and BG refining costs and the like can be significantly cut.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne du 1,4-butanediol (abrégé ci-dessous en BG) dont la qualité se détériore peu même lorsqu'il est stocké dans une atmosphère contenant de l'oxygène, le BG permettant d'obtenir un polyester présentant une excellente nuance de couleur. Ce BG contient 1 ppm en poids ou plus de 2-méthyl-1,3-propanediol et comprend un composé acétal cyclique à hauteur de 1 à 50 ppm en poids.
