ABSTRACT:
A process for preparing purified 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid which comprises hydrolyzing a dialkyl-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate with water at a reaction temperature of at least about 450.degree. F. under liquid phase condition, the amount of water present being sufficient to solubilize, at the reaction temperature, at least about 10 percent of the 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid formed; and a process for purifying 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid comprising combining impure 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid with a purification solvent, heating the resulting mixture under liquid phase conditions at a temperature of at least about 500.degree. F. to form a product mixture and thereafter recovering from the product mixture purified 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid.
