ABSTRACT:
A process for the recovery of methacrylic acid formed from an aqueous sodium methacrylate solution derived from the silver catalyzed oxidation reaction of methacrolein and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide which comprises contacting the aqueous sodium methacrylate solution at a suitable temperature, in the presence of a high gaseous carbon dioxide pressure, with a water immiscible alkane, cycloalkane, alkyl benzene, or carboxylic acid ester solvent to extract and form a methacrylic acid-containing organic solvent phase, an aqueous phase and a precipitated sodium bicarbonate solid phase and recovering the methacrylic acid from the organic solvent phase. Liquid CO.sub.2 which may be employed with the water immiscible solvent at 800 psig may also be employed alone at its equilibrium vapor pressure as the reactant and extractant medium.
