When maleic anhydride is used as a raw material, first, maleic anhydride is dissolved in tap water, preferably pure water to prepare a maleic acid aqueous solution. At this time, the maleic acid aqueous solution is usually heated to about 40 to 50 ° C. by the heat of hydration. Note that water is usually used at room temperature, but may be heated if necessary. The maleic acid concentration in the aqueous solution is usually 10 to 5
0% by weight, preferably 30 to 40% by weight.
If the concentration is too high, the concentration of the fumaric acid slurry formed becomes too high, making extraction difficult, while if the concentration is too low, the production efficiency is poor, which is not preferable.

For example, in the case of the above method (1), after the maleic acid aqueous solution is heated to a predetermined reaction temperature, a required amount of potassium bromate and thiourea are added to carry out the isomerization reaction, or After the required amounts of potassium bromate and thiourea are added to a maleic acid aqueous solution at a temperature lower than the reaction temperature, the isomerization reaction may be performed by raising the temperature to a predetermined reaction temperature. In the latter method, when the temperature is raised to a predetermined reaction temperature by the heat of reaction, it is not necessary to newly provide a heating means necessary for raising the temperature. Depending on the concentration of the reaction solution, a large amount of reaction heat may be generated and bumping may occur.
In consideration of such a case, the addition of potassium bromate and thiourea is preferably performed at a temperature lower than a predetermined reaction temperature, for example, at or below the temperature at which the reaction starts, and such an addition method is employed. This allows the catalyst to be uniformly dispersed in the maleic acid aqueous solution.

After raising the temperature, the required amount of thiourea is preferably added to complete the isomerization reaction at a predetermined reaction temperature. This method (2) may be preferable in the case of a batch apparatus in particular, because the reaction heat generated by the reaction can be suppressed.
