Abstract

A remarkable breakthrough, which offered an advanced purified terephthalic acid (PTA) process, was developed. The catalytic activity and selectivity toward terephthalic acid was significantly enhanced by injecting CO₂ in the feed stream for the liquid phase O₂ oxidation over the conventional MC-type catalyst. The liquid phase O₂ oxidation of p-xylene and m-xylene proceeded at a much faster rate under milder conditions to produce terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid, respectively, in the co-presence of CO₂ over the MC-type catalyst. The striking function of CO₂ for the O₂ oxidation of p-xylene in the MC-type catalyst was summarized.
