Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is an oxidation process to produce a crude carboxylic acid product carboxylic acid product. The process comprises oxidizing a feed stream comprising at least one oxidizable compound to generate a crude carboxylic acid slurry comprising furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and compositions thereof. Also disclosed is a process to produce a dry purified carboxylic acid product by utilizing various purification methods on the crude carboxylic acid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A carboxylic acid composition comprising furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid solids, said solids comprising: (a) furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid in an amount greater than 90 weight percent; (b) a b* value of less than 15; (c) 5-formyl furan-2-carboxylic acid (FFCA) in a range of from about 0.1 to about 4.0 weight percent; and (d) 5-(ethyoxycarbonyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid (EFCA) in an amount from 0.1 to 4 wt %. 2. A carboxylic acid composition according to claim 1 where said furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid is in an amount greater than 92 weight percent. 3. A carboxylic acid composition according to claim 2 wherein said carboxylic acid composition has a b* value of less than 10. 4. A carboxylic acid composition according to claim 2 wherein said carboxylic acid composition has a b* value of less than 5. 5. A carboxylic acid composition according to claim 1 where said furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid is in an amount greater than 94 weight percent. 6. A carboxylic acid composition according to claim 5 wherein said carboxylic acid composition has a b* value of less than 10. 7. A carboxylic acid composition according to claim 5 wherein said carboxylic acid composition has a b* value of less than 5. 8. A carboxylic acid composition according to claim 1 where said furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid is in an amount greater than 96 weight percent. 9. A carboxylic acid composition according to claim 8 wherein said carboxylic acid composition has a b* value of less than 10. 10. A carboxylic acid composition according to claim 8 wherein said carboxylic acid composition has a b* value of less than 5. 11. A carboxylic acid composition according to claim 1 where said furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid is in an amount greater than 98 weight percent.
