A process for producing a high purity aromatic polycarboxylic acid (APA) by purification of a crude APA comprises: (I) aging a slurry of the crude APA in a first dispersion medium at 180 to 300° C. for 10 minutes or longer under stirring; (II) introducing the aged slurry of the APA into a column for substituting dispersion media, bringing the slurry into contact with a second dispersion medium and separating the resultant fluid into a fluid of the first dispersion medium containing impurities and a slurry of the second dispersion medium containing crystals of the high purity APA; and (III) separating the crystals of the high purity APA from the slurry of the second dispersion medium. A high purity APA having excellent hue and particle diameter can be industrially advantageously produced while the construction of the process is simplified and the consumption of energy is decreased.
通过粗APA的纯化生产高纯芳香族多
羧酸(APA)的方法包括:(I)在搅拌下将粗APA的浆料在180至300℃的第一分散介质中老化10分钟或更长时间;(II)将APA的老化浆料引入用于替代分散介质的柱中,使浆料与第二分散介质接触,并将所得流体分离为含杂质的第一分散介质流体和含高纯APA晶体的第二分散介质浆料;(III)从第二分散介质浆料中分离高纯APA晶体。在简化工艺结构和降低能源消耗的同时,可以产生具有优异色调和粒径的高纯APA。
