Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for purifying a crude furan 2,5-dicarboxylic acid composition (cFDCA) by hydrogenation of a FDCA composition dissolved in a hydrogenation solvent such as water, and hydrogenating under mild conditions, such as at a temperature within a range of 130° C. to 225° C. by contacting the solvated FDCA composition with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst under a hydrogen partial pressure within a range of 10 psi to 900 psi. A product FDCA composition is produced having a low amount of tetrahydrofuran dicarboxylic acid, a low b*, and a low amount of 5-formyl furan-2-carboxylic acid (FFCA).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What we claim is: 1. A process for purifying a crude furan 2,5-dicarboxylic acid composition (cFDCA) comprising: a) providing a cFDCA composition comprising furan 2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) solids, 5-formyl furan-2-carboxylic acid (FFCA), and a oxidation solvent composition; b) combining a hydrogenation solvent composition with said FDCA solids and dissolving at least a portion of the FDCA solids to thereby produce a solvated FDCA (sFDCA) composition comprising dissolved FDCA,…
