More Information
Summary:A process for manufacturing a purified aromatic carboxylic acid is provided. The process comprises purifying a crude aromatic carboxylic acid in a purification zone to form a purified aromatic carboxylic acid; crystallizing a purified aromatic carboxylic acid in a crystallization zone to form a solid/liquid mixture comprising purified aromatic carboxylic acid solids; filtering the solid/liquid mixture through a filter member of a rotary pressure filter apparatus to form a filter cake comprising the purified aromatic carboxylic acid solids; removing the filter cake from the filter member; rinsing the filter member to produce a filter rinse product, wherein the filter rinse product comprises purified aromatic carboxylic acid; and directing at least a portion of the filter rinse product downstream of the purification zone for recycle to the rotary pressure filter apparatus.
