[Problem to be Solved by the Invention 1] The catalyst used in this hydrogenation reaction uses noble metals such as platinum and rhodium, and is extremely expensive. Therefore, it is preferable to maintain the activity as a catalyst for as long as possible. However, as the catalyst is repeatedly recycled and reused in the above method, the activity of the catalyst gradually decreases and becomes deactivated. The time required becomes long, and eventually it becomes impossible to reuse it as a catalyst in practice, and it has to be replaced with a new catalyst.

In the present invention, the treatment conditions using the Mi4-filled tower are as follows: When maleic anhydride is treated with activated carbon, the treatment temperature must be higher than its melting point (52.8°C), since the maleic anhydride must be in a liquid state. Generally a temperature of 120°C or less, usually 60 to 100°C, is employed. SV (space velocity) is generally 0.1~10hr'''11 usually 0.2~6
hr''.When treating an aqueous maleic acid solution, the treatment can basically be carried out under the same conditions, but due to the difference in liquid properties, the concentration of maleic acid is below the saturation concentration, usually 20 ~
At a concentration of 50%, the treatment temperature is above room temperature and below the boiling point, usually a temperature of 5O-IQO'0. Since the activated carbon is subjected to a hydrogenation reaction, it is convenient to adjust its concentration to that of the hydrogenation reaction.The pressure during activated carbon treatment is not particularly limited, and may be normal pressure or pressurized.

The conditions for carrying out the activated carbon treatment in a batch manner are the treatment temperature and the concentration of the maleic acid aqueous solution, which may be the same as in the case of the packed column treatment, but the treatment time is generally about 10 minutes under stirring.
A time of at least 30 minutes to 2 hours is usually sufficient. In this case, since the amount of impurities in the raw material is small, the amount of activated carbon used may be relatively small, and may be about 0.005 to 1 t by weight based on the raw material.

The amount of maleic anhydride or maleic acid to be treated cannot be determined because it depends significantly on the adsorption capacity of activated carbon and the type or amount of impurities in the raw material, but it is generally 10,000 to 80,000 times the weight of activated carbon. Therefore, leic acid can be treated. The breakthrough of impurities due to a decrease in the adsorption capacity of activated carbon is due to the reaction rate (
This can be easily determined by the decrease in hydrogen absorption rate (hydrogen absorption rate).

Add commercially available maleic anhydride to the above separatory funnel and add SV
A maleic anhydride solution at 80° C. was passed through the packed bed for 0.5 hr. A total of 4,000 g of maleic anhydride was treated and measured using the forced poisoning test method. As a result, the reaction time of phthalic anhydride treated with granular activated carbon was 18 minutes to reach a 5oz reaction rate, 35 minutes for 3oz, and 44 minutes for toot, which was essentially the same as the new control catalyst.
No decrease in activity due to catalyst poisoning was observed.

Example 3 In Example 1 (2), instead of 100 parts of maleic anhydride, 250 parts of a 40% solution of maleic acid, in which commercially available maleic anhydride was dissolved in pure water, was treated in the same manner. A forced poisoning test method was conducted on the malein-ugly aqueous solution in the same manner as in Example 1.
Almost the same results as in Example 1 were obtained.

The hydrogenation reaction was carried out at kg/cm"G. The reaction was stopped when no hydrogen was absorbed, and the catalyst was filtered when hot.
The filtrate was cooled, and the precipitated succinic acid was filtered and dried to obtain highly pure succinic acid.

The mother liquor and catalyst were again used in repeated hydrogenation reactions under the above conditions. Although the catalyst was subjected to the reaction 50 times in this manner, the activity of the catalyst hardly decreased and there was no problem in practical use. On the other hand, when untreated commercially available maleic anhydride is used as a raw material and the catalyst is recycled in the same manner as above, the hydrogen absorption rate decreases significantly from about the 25th time onwards.
It took a long time to achieve a reaction rate of 100 tons of maleic acid, making it virtually impossible to use.
