O reactor de coluna é habitualmente operado a urna temperatura de aproximadamente de 40°C a 90°C. Contudo, a temperatura óptima para um processo determinado é dependente da taxa de produgäo desejada, pressäo de funcionamento. A pressäo de operagäo habitual é aproximadamente de 1 a 2 atmosferas. Geralmente, é desejável operar em baixas temperaturas e baixas pressöes. 0 tempo de permanencia da mistura de reacgáo no reactor de coluna, também é um parámetro importante do processo da presente divulgagáo. 0 tempo de permanencia mínimo que é necessário para urna maior conversáo depende do catalisador e da concentragáo do catalisador. 0 catalisador fornecido no reactor de coluna numa concentragáo suficiente para proporcionar o efeito catalítico desejado. A melhor forma de fornecer o catalisador no reactor de coluna é a alimentagáo de solugáo aquosa de ácido oxálico, na parte superior da coluna. Opcionalmente, é alimentada, através da parte superior da coluna, urna determinada quantidade de ácido acético ou mistura de ácido acético/água com ácido oxálico dissolvido nela. Com urna solugáo aquosa de ácido oxálico a 30% como catalisador, o tempo de permanencia, para o processo da presente descrigáo, é de pelo menos 30 minutos.

A mistura, contendo acetato de metilo, água e catalisador, é introduzida no reactor de coluna RD através da linha 4. A reacgáo é levada a cabo no reactor de coluna numa temperatura que varia entre 30°C e 120°C, de preferencia 90°C a 100°C. O destilador DI usado para o metanol destilado (linha 15), vem do fluxo do fundo do reactor de coluna, através da linha 12. Da mesma forma, o destilador D2 utilizado para a separagáo do ácido acético e do ácido oxálico (linha 24) vem do fundo DI, através da linha 18. A mistura de ácido oxálico e ácido acético (linha 24) é introduzida no cristalizador Cl, no qual o ácido oxálico é precipitado. A temperatura do cristalizador é mantida entre 10°C e 25°C de preferéncia 15 e 18°C. 0 catalisador precipitado é separado por passagem através do filtro Fl, onde o máximo de catalisador e ácido acético é separado, e tem a salda através das linhas 26 e 27 respectivamente. A corrente efluente, produzida pela hidrólise do éster orgánico de ácido carboxilico, geralmente compreende o respectivo ácido carboxilico, um álcool, água e o catalisador ácido. Dependendo do tipo de éster envolvido, o ácido carboxilico, presente na corrente efluente, pode ser ácido acético, ácido propanóico e ácido butanóico; enquanto o álcool correspondente pode ser metanol, etanol, isopropanol, álcool amílico de n-butanol e álcool hexílico. Opcionalmente, água e metanol sao removidos de tal corrente, e é assim obtida urna corrente efluente que contém o ácido carboxilico e o catalisador ácido. Geralmente, a proporgáo do ácido carboxilico e do referido primeiro catalisador (catalisador ácido) na corrente efluente é 9:1. Essa é a corrente 27 da Fig-1. 0 ácido tereftálico é produzido por oxidagáo, em fase líquida, de compostos aromáticos de alquilo seleccionados do grupo que consiste em p-xileno e meta-xileno, com ar, na presenga de um sistema catalisador metálico (um segundo catalisador) que compreende um sistema catalisador de cobalto-manganés-brometo (acetato de cobalto, acetato de manganés e brometo de hidrogénio), em ácido acético na gama de temperatura de 150°C a 210°C. A proporgáo relativa de cobalto, manganés e bromo sao importantes e os valores típicos sao razáo de manganés:cobalto 3:1; e razáo de cobalto: bromo 1:5. No reactor e no cristalizador, a maior parte do ácido tereftálico cristaliza a partir do licor-máe e sao separados por filtragáo. O licor-máe compreende principalmente o ácido acético e compostos orgánicos como ácido isoftálico, ácido benzoico e compostos inorgánicos como compostos de cobalto e manganés, juntamente com ferro, níquel, crómio e sodio.The organic ester, methyl acetate (MeOAc) and water (H2O) are reacted in a continuous column reactor, which acts as a reactor column and distillation column, providing a residence time sufficient to achieve high conversion of methyl in methanol (MeOH) and acetic acid (HOAc) in the presence of an oxalic acid as the catalyst. Fresh methyl acetate, along with water and oxalic acid for compounding, is introduced into the mixer. The mixed flow of the mixer is introduced into the middle of the reactor column (RD). Generally, the product flow from the top of the RD, which consists of approximately 88.2% methyl acetate, 11.4% methanol and 0.4% water, is fed into the mixer continuously. Generally, the product flow from the lower part of the RD contains 29.5% HOAc, 45.2% water, 15.7% methanol and 9.6% oxalic acid. Unless otherwise specified, all percentages used in this document are percentages by weight. Separation of the methanol from the bottom product RD stream is accomplished using the distillation column (D1), 98.3% pure. The fact is that there is a large difference in the boiling points of methanol, acetic acid and water, and the methanol-forming acetate of methanol is absent in the lower part of the DR, makes the separation of methanol easier in DI. The product of the lower part of DI containing 53.4% water, 35.1% acetic acid, 0.1% methanol and 11.4% oxalic acid is introduced into the distillation column D2. The product of the upper part of D2 contains 97.9% pure water, with traces of acetic acid and methanol. The product of the lower part of D2 consists of 73.6% of acetic acid and 24.6% of oxalic acid. Oxalic acid is crystallized from such a stream using crystallizer (Cl). The crystals are separated from acetic acid using an F1 filter. The column reactor is operated so as to provide close contact between the methyl acetate, water, acetic acid and the methyl acetate / water azeotrope, and between acetic acid and the azeotrope methanol / methyl acetate. By providing close contact between the reactants and products, and continuously removing the top and bottom products to the column reactor, further conversions are achieved. The methyl acetate and water are introduced into the column reactor in the molar ratio range of 1: 1 to 1:10, preferably 1: 1 to 1: 5, and even more preferably a ratio of 1: 3 to 1 : 5. The column reactor is usually operated at a temperature of about 40 ° C to 90 ° C. However, the optimum temperature for a given process is dependent on the desired production rate, operating pressure. The usual operating pressure is approximately 1 to 2 atmospheres. Generally, it is desirable to operate at low temperatures and low pressures. The residence time of the reaction mixture in the column reactor is also an important parameter of the process of the present disclosure. The minimum residence time that is required for further conversion depends on the catalyst and the concentration of the catalyst. The catalyst provided in the column reactor in a concentration sufficient to provide the desired catalytic effect. The best way to provide the catalyst in the column reactor is to feed the aqueous solution of oxalic acid to the top of the column. Optionally, a certain amount of acetic acid or acetic acid / water mixture is fed through the top of the column with oxalic acid dissolved therein. With an aqueous solution of 30% oxalic acid as the catalyst, the residence time for the process of the present description is at least 30 minutes. Preferably, the residence time in the column reactor is about 30 to 45 minutes. The reflux ratio of the process of the present disclosure is at least about 1.32. The term reflux rate is defined as the ratio of the flow rate of the reflux at the top to the flow rate of the product at the top. The MI equipment, as shown in Fig. 1 of the attached drawings, comprises a mixer supplied with an agitator A. The mixer MI is marked where lines 2 and 3 are connected. RD is a column reactor connected to the output of MI through line 4. The reflux lines RD are marked as 5 and 6 through the capacitor HI. Another recycling line 7 is connected to the Condenser H2 and the output line 8 connected to the line 9. The line 9 is connected with the M1. Lines 10 and 11 are connected at the bottom of RD through reheater H3. At the output of line RD, line 12 is connected to a distiller D1. The line 13 is passed through the capacitor H4 and the line 14 connected to the D1. The upper DI output is marked 15. The lower reflux lines are passed through the reheater H5, and marked, respectively, 16 and 17. Likewise, the lower DI output 18 is connected to the distiller D2. The reflux lines of the upper part, 19 and 20, are passed through the condenser H6. The output of the upper part of the D2 is marked 21. The lower reflux lines are passed through the reheater H7, and marked respectively 22 and 23. The crystallizer C1 is connected to the lower part of the D2 through the line 24. The filter F1 is connected with the crystallizer via line 25. The lines 26 and 27 are also connected to the filter F1. The methyl acetate is introduced into the MI mixer via line 9. The mixer MI is fed with water through the water inlet line 2 while the catalyst is introduced through line 3. The mixture, containing methyl acetate, water and catalyst is introduced into the RD column reactor via line 4. The reaction is carried out in the column reactor at a temperature ranging from 30 ° C to 120 ° C, preferably 90 ° C to 100 ° C. The distiller DI used for the distilled methanol (line 15) comes from the bottom stream of the column reactor through line 12. Likewise, the distiller D2 used for the separation of acetic acid and oxalic acid (line 24) comes from the DI bottom through line 18. The mixture of oxalic acid and acetic acid (line 24) is introduced into the crystallizer Cl, in which the oxalic acid is precipitated. The temperature of the crystallizer is maintained between 10 ° C and 25 ° C, preferably 15 and 18 ° C. The precipitated catalyst is separated by passage through the filter Fl, where the maximum of catalyst and acetic acid is separated, and has the outlet through lines 26 and 27 respectively. The effluent stream, produced by the hydrolysis of the organic ester of carboxylic acid, generally comprises the respective carboxylic acid, an alcohol, water and the acid catalyst. Depending on the type of ester involved, the carboxylic acid present in the effluent stream may be acetic acid, propanoic acid and butanoic acid; while the corresponding alcohol may be methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol amyl alcohol and hexyl alcohol. Optionally, water and methanol are removed from such a stream, and thus an effluent stream containing the carboxylic acid and the acid catalyst is obtained. Generally, the proportion of the carboxylic acid and said first catalyst (acid catalyst) in the effluent stream is 9: 1. This is the current 27 of Fig-1. The terephthalic acid is produced by the liquid phase oxidation of alkyl aromatic compounds selected from the group consisting of p-xylene and meta-xylene with air in the presence of a metal catalyst system (a second catalyst) which comprises a system cobalt-manganese-bromide catalyst (cobalt acetate, manganese acetate and hydrogen bromide) in acetic acid in the temperature range of 150 ° C to 210 ° C. The relative proportions of cobalt, manganese and bromine are important and typical values are manganese: cobalt ratio 3: 1; and ratio of cobalt: bromine 1: 5. In the reactor and in the crystallizer, most of the terephthalic acid crystallizes from the liquor and is filtered off. Liquor-mae mainly comprises acetic acid and organic compounds such as isophthalic acid, benzoic acid and inorganic compounds such as cobalt and manganese compounds, together with iron, nickel, chromium and sodium.

Geralmente, os contra-anides de acetato de catalisador metálico sao deslocados pelos ioes de oxalato do catalisador ácido. Assim é ilustrado na Figura 2, na qual a secgáo da hidrólise do acetato de metilo ilustra o processo de hidrélise, e a separagáo do produto e o catalisador (ácido oxálico), juntamente com ácido acético (corrente 27 da Fig. 1). A corrente 27 contendo 90% de ácido acético e 10% de ácido oxálico que sai da secgáo de hidrélise é utilizada para recuperagáo do catalisador. A corrente 27 da Fig-1 é misturada com licor-mäe com catalisador metálico inorgánico na zona de mistura. 0 ácido oxálico na corrente reage com os acetatos de cobalto e manganés e forma os oxalatos respectivos, os quais sao separados e recuperados por centrifugando que podem também ser reciclados de volta para o reactor de oxidaqáo. A presente divulgagáo será descrita agora em referencia aos seguintes exemplos nao limitantes.According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the liquor containing the second catalyst (metal catalyst) is then treated with the effluent stream, containing the carboxylic acid and the acid catalyst (oxalic acid), i.e., stream 27 of Fig-1 recovers the catalysts from the metals present in the mother liquor as oxalate salts. Generally, the metal catalyst acetate counter-anhydrides are displaced by the oxalate ions of the acid catalyst. Thus it is illustrated in Figure 2, in which the hydrolysis section of methyl acetate illustrates the hydrolysis process, and the separation of the product and the catalyst (oxalic acid) together with acetic acid (stream 27 of Figure 1). Stream 27 containing 90% acetic acid and 10% oxalic acid exiting the hydrolysis section is used to recover the catalyst. The stream 27 of Fig-1 is mixed with liquor-mother with inorganic metal catalyst in the mixing zone. The oxalic acid in the stream reacts with the cobalt and manganese acetates and forms the respective oxalates, which are separated and recovered by centrifuging which can also be recycled back to the oxidation reactor.
