摘要:
Integration of a carboxylic anhydride purification system in the manufacturing of cellulose esters may include processes that includes distilling the crude carboxylic anhydride stream (that includes a carboxylic anhydride and a carboxylic acid) in a distillation column having an overhead or side stream comprising purified, vaporous carboxylic anhydride and a bottoms stream; heating a steam condensate stream in a steam generator to yield a low-temperature steam; and cooling at least a portion of the overhead or side stream to yield a cooled overhead or side stream. In some instances, a heat exchanger may be utilized in parallel or series with the steam generator.

Processes for decreasing fumaric acid deposits in preparing maleic anhydride by heterogeneously catalyzed oxidation of a hydrocarbon with molecular oxygen. Maleic anhydride is absorbed from the crude mixture in an absorbent in an absorption column and desorbed in a desorption column, the entirety or portion of absorbent depleted in maleic anhydride, for controlled precipitation of fumaric acid, being cooled and/or concentrated by evaporating a portion of absorbent such that the difference between the concentration of fumaric acid in the recycle stream at the outlet of the desorption column under existing conditions and the equilibrium concentration of fumaric acid according to the solubility curve after cooling and/or evaporation of a portion of absorbent is ≧250 ppm by weight, and the fumaric acid precipitated as a solid is removed completely or partly from the absorbent recycling system and the fumaric acid-depleted absorbent is recycled completely or partly to the absorption column.

The present invention relates to an improved method for preparing (meth)acrylic anhydride (A(M)A2O) by transanhydrification between (meth)acrylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of at least one polymerization inhibitor, in which reaction to the point of partial conversion of the reagents is carried out, followed by continuous distillation. With the method according to the invention, it is possible to produce I1A(M)A2O of very high purity under improved productivity conditions compared to existing methods while eliminating problems of reactor fouling.

Process for the preparation of on-spec phthalic anhydride by the distillative purification of crude phthalic anhydride at reduced pressure, where the crude phthalic anhydride is passed to the distillation column above a side take-off, the low-boiling components are removed at the top of the column or in the vicinity of the top of the column and the on-spec phthalic anhydride is removed from the side take-off of the column, in which a distillation column is used whose number of theoretical plates located above the supply of the crude phthalic anhydride into the distillation column is 10 to 20 and the column is operated at a reflux ratio of from 0.1 to 0.5.

A process to isolate dianhydride from an exchange reaction comprises extracting a bisimide/anhydride exchange reaction aqueous phase with an organic solution comprising an exchange catalyst at a first temperature and pressure to form an extracted aqueous phase comprising water, exchange catalyst and a dianhydride precursor; removing water from the extracted aqueous phase at a second temperature and pressure to form a molten phase, wherein the second pressure is less than the first pressure; removing water and exchange catalyst from the molten phase at a third temperature and pressure to form an isolation mixture; and converting the dianhydride precursor in the isolation mixture to dianhydride at a fourth temperature and pressure, wherein the fourth temperature is greater than the second and third temperatures and the fourth pressure is less than the second and third pressures.
