Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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)OCH 2 -furfural where R is alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl), 5-HMF ethers (5-R′OCH 2 -furfural where R′ is alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl), 5-alkyl furfurals (5-R″-furfural where R″ is alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl), mixed feedstocks of 5-HMF and 5-HMF esters, mixed feedstocks of 5-HMF and 5-HMF ethers, and mixed feedstocks of 5-HMF and 5-alkyl furfurals to generate a crude carboxylic acid slurry comprising FDCA.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A purified furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (pFDCA) having a furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid content of greater than 99% by weight, less than 500 ppm of 5-formyl furan-2-carboxylic acid (FFCA), and a b* value of less than 6. 2. The pFDCA according to claim 1 , which comprises greater than 99.5% by weight of furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid. 3. The pFDCA according to claim 1 , which comprises less than 10 ppm of FFCA. 4. The pFDCA according to claim 2 , which comprises less than 10 ppm of FFCA. 5. The pFDCA according to claim 1 , which has a b* value of less than 4. 6. The pFDCA according to claim 1 , which has a b* value of less than 2.
