Abstract: A thermal separating process for removing a stream containing enriched (meth)acrylic monomers from a mixture containing (meth)acrylic monomers, in which the liquid phases retained in the separating space at high temperature and high (meth)acrylic monomer content are minimized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of an optical line detector for regulating the position of the wash front and/or of the build-up front of the crystal bed of a wash column in a melt crystallization process and a corresponding regulation method. The line detector, for example a CCD camera or a linear array of reflection probes, is arranged in such a way that optical properties of the crystal bed can be detected continuously in a region running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the wash column, this region covering the desired setpoint position of the wash front or of the build-up front.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for purifying a raw melt of at least one monomer by crystallization, wherein suspension crystallization is initially used and the resulting remaining melt or the suspension crystals that have been molten once again and separated are subjected to a mechanical separation operation before undergoing subsequent purification by crystallization.

Abstract: Crude acrylic acid is purified batchwise by crystallization by a process which comprises at least one purification stage and at least one stripping stage and in which at least the first stripping stage is carried out in a different crystallizer from the first purification stage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a purified melt of a monomer melt obtained by condensation, absorption or extraction in a crystallizer, wherein the inlet to the crystallizer is subjected to a mechanical solid/liquid separation operation.

Abstract: In a process for the purification of a crude acrylic acid melt, the crude acrylic acid melt is converted, under the action of low temperatures, into a crude acrylic acid suspension consisting of acrylic acid crystals and residual melt, and the acrylic acid crystals of the crude acrylic acid suspension are freed from remaining residual melt in a wash column, the production of the acrylic acid crystals of the crude acrylic acid suspension being carried out in the presence of water, the wash column being a wash column with forced transport of the acrylic acid crystals and the wash liquid used being the melt of acrylic acid crystals purified in the wash column.

Abstract: Acrylic acid or methacrylic acid is purified by crystallization to obtain crystals and a mother liquor, by a process in which the crystals are washed with a wash liquid containing the acid and having a temperature from 15 to 40° C. Furthermore, a process for the preparation of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid comprises the abovementioned purification process.
