| 20080287616 | Process for Production of (Meth)Acrylic Acid with High Boiling Fraction Work-Up By Means of Crystallization - A process for production of (meth)acrylic acid is disclosed. The process includes synthesizing and distillatively working-up a crude (meth)acrylic acid phase to obtain a (meth)acrylic acid phase and a dimer phase including (meth)acrylic acid dimers and/or (meth)acrylic acid oligomers. At least a part of the (meth)acrylic acid dimers and/or of the (meth)acrylic acid oligomers from the dimer phase is split to obtain a (meth)acrylic acid including a low-boiling phase and a high-boiling phase including less (meth)acrylic acid than the low-boiling phase. At least a part of the (meth)acrylic acid from the low-boiling phase is separated by forming of one or more crystals to obtain a pure (meth)acrylic acid and a residue. Also disclosed is a device for production of (meth)acrylic acid, a process for production of a polymer as well as chemical products based on or including (meth)acrylic acid or a polymer as well as the use of (meth)acrylic acid or polymers in chemical products. | 11-20-2008 |
