  • OXIDATION PROCESS TO PRODUCE A PURIFIED CARBOXYLIC ACID PRODUCT VIA SOLVENT DISPLACEMENT AND POST OXIDATION
    Publication number: 20140024844
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process to produce a dry purified carboxylic acid product comprising furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA). The process comprises oxidizing at least one oxidizable compound selected from the following group: 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (5-HMF), 5-HMF esters (5-R(CO)OCH2-furfural were R alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl), 5-HMF ethers (5-R?OCH2-furfural, where R?=alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl), 5-alkyl furfurals (5-R?-furfural, where R?=alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl), mixed feed-stocks of 5-HMF and 5-HMF esters and mixed feed-stocks of 5-HMF and 5-HMF ethers and mixed feed-stocks of 5-HMF and 5-alkyl furfurals to generate a crude carboxylic acid slurry comprising FDCA.
