ABSTRACT:
A process for producing pyromellitic acid which comprises oxidizing 2,4,5-trimethylbenzaldehyde and/or its oxidized derivative in the presence of a catalyst containing iron, manganese and bromine, or additionally containing zirconium or cerium continuously or semi-continuously using aqueous acetic acid solvent and 0.05-2% by weight of bromide ion. The catalyst used in the present invention has high activity, and the catalyst solution has low corrosive because the reaction is performed at low bromide concentration by using a solvent of aqueous acetic acid. So pyromellitic acid is produced industrially advantageously in high yield continuously or semi-continuously which has been a major difficulty up to now.
