ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method for preparing an aromatic carboxylic acid comprising oxidizing in the liquid phase an aromatic feed compound containing at least one alkyl or acyl group with a molecular oxygen-containing gas, in a solvent comprising a low molecular weight aliphatic carboxylic acid, and in the presence of a heavy metal oxidation catalyst, thereby forming an oxidation reaction product mixture comprising an aromatic carboxylic acid; subsequently heating the oxidation reaction product mixture at a temperature of at least about 500.degree. F. to form a second product mixture; and recovering from the second product mixture the aromatic carboxylic acid. The method of this invention provides for purer, larger particle size aromatic carboxylic acid product.
