(W; czasie badan procesu utleniania p-ksylenu i p-toiiuilanu meltylu tlenem z powietrza w tempe¬ raturze 1QOM160°C riold zwiekszonym cisnieniem stwierdzono, ze oprócz atfornaltycznych klwaisów karboksylowych i aldehydófw powstaja równomio- lowe ilosci p-Holuilanu -p^ksylilu lub jego pochod¬ ne zawierajace oprócz mostków meltylenooksyikar- bonyftowycihi girupy aldehyldiawie, karboksylowe i esitoroiwe. Stwierdzono nieoczekiwanie, ze p-toliudllan p-ksy- lilu i jego pochodne estrowe bardteo. latwo utle¬ niaja sie tlenem z powie-rza do kwasów p-totólo^ wego, teretfitaIlowego oraz do estiru monomeitylo^ wego kwasu teireftaiowegOi z których po estryfika- eji metanolem daja dwumetyiljolterefltalan i p-toóhii- lan metylu. ¦ Analizujac wlasnosci i sklad estrów metylo¬ wych uzyskanych w stadium esitrytfikacji i skladu pozostalosci po destylacji surowych estrów stwier¬ dzono, ze wielopierscieniowe zwfia)zki o mostkach metylenooksykarbonyiowych Ulegaja w wyniku des¬ tylacji! sufrowych estrów czesciowej prze/mianie. Faklt ten spowodowal poszukiwania takiego sposo¬ bu wydzielania p-ltoluilanu. p-ksylilu i jego po¬ chodnych, aby zmniejszyc w sposób istotny rozklad tych zwiazków i zawrócic je do procesu utleniania. Prosta- destylacja prózniowa pozostalosci po des- tylacjli surowych estrów nie uimioziiwiala w pelni odzysku wielopierscieniowych ziwiajzków o most-: kach metylenojoksykaribonyfljowych. (W czasie prób destylacji surowych estrów stwierdzono nieOczekiLwanie, ze prowadzac desty¬ lacje surowych estrów w stosunkowo niskiej tem¬ peraturze 280—$4!50C przy cisnieniu 40M50 rmm Hg i przy rntiiniimallnyim orosieniu wynoszacym ok. 10°/o wagowylch w stosunku do zasilania^ kolumny mnoz¬ na ilosciowo p-fcoluilan p-ksy/Mlu i jego pochodne 105 468105 468 wydestylowac razem z estrami metylowymi jedno- ptierscieniowytmd, to jest z p-lbofliuilanem metylu i dwumetyioiereifltallanem oraz jegb izomerami od pozostalosci zawierajacej glównie zwiazki wielo¬ pierscieniowe typu bezwodników. ' Podobnie dobre wynika uizyskano prowadzac destylacje prózniowa pozostalosci po destylacji, su¬ rowych estrów przy wprowadzaniu jako orosienia ciekly p-toluilan metylu i dwumetylotereftalan.

So far, in the processes of producing dimethyl terephthalate by oxidation of p-xylene and methyl p-toluate with oxygen from air, esterification of aromatic carboxylic acids obtained in the oxidation with methanol, purification of crude dimethyl terephthalate by vacuum distillation and crystallization from methanol, a minimal, incidental amount of polycyclic compounds with methylenoxycarboxyl groups was recycled to the oxidation process, while the majority was removed from the process together with the residues after distillation, or was processed with large losses together with the residue after distillation of crude esters to dimethyl terephthalate and methyl p-toluate. [German patent descriptions No. 949,564, No. 1.04a.045, 2,010.137, Polish patent description 9i6^a8]. (During the study of the oxidation process of p-xylene and methyl p-toluate with oxygen from air at a temperature of 1000-160°C and with increased pressure, it was found that, in addition to the formaldehyde-forming carboxylic acids and aldehydes, equimolar amounts of p-xylyl p-toluate or its derivatives were formed, containing, in addition to methyloxycarbonyl bridges, aldehyde, carboxylic and ester groups. It was surprisingly found that p-xylyl p-toluate and its ester derivatives were very easily oxidized with oxygen from air to p-toluic and terephthalic acids and to the monomethyl ester of methyl p-toluate.) terephthalic acid, which, after esterification with methanol, yield dimethyl terephthalate and methyl p-toluolate. Analyzing the properties and composition of the methyl esters obtained in the esterification stage and the composition of the residues after distillation of the crude esters, it was found that polycyclic compounds with methyleneoxycarbonyl bridges undergo partial conversion during distillation of the crude esters. This fact led to the search for a method for isolating p-toluolate and its derivatives that would significantly reduce the decomposition of these compounds and return them to the oxidation process. Simple vacuum distillation of the residues after distillation of crude esters did not fully enable the recovery of polycyclic compounds with methyleneoxycarboxylate bridges. (During distillation tests of crude esters, it was surprisingly found that by distilling the crude esters at a relatively low temperature of 280-4150C, at a pressure of 400-500mm Hg and at a minimum reflux of about 10% by weight relative to the column feed, p-oxy-methyl-p ... was obtained by vacuum distillation of the distillation residues of crude esters, with liquid methyl p-toluate and dimethyl terephthalate introduced as reflux. Decomposition of p-xylyl p-toluate and its derivatives can also be prevented by flash distillation of the crude esters. A stripping column eluate containing approximately 20% by weight of methyl p-toluate and dimethyl terephthalate is then obtained. This eluate, subjected to vacuum distillation at a bottom temperature of the column not higher than 25°C and a pressure of 50 mm Hg, gives a distillate containing, in addition to monoaeroidal esters, almost the entire amount of p-xylyl p-phtoluate and its derivatives. The method according to the invention consists in the conservative separation of p-xylyl p-toluate and its ester derivatives together with methyl p-toluate and dimethyl terephthalate by distillation from the crude esters or from the distillation residues of crude esters containing large amounts of dimethyl terephthalate. The resulting mixture of mono-dimethyl methyl esters containing p-xylyl p-thiol and its derivatives is separated in a known manner by vacuum distillation into fractions of methyl p-toluate and crude dimethyl terephthalate, from which, by crystallization from methanol, impurities such as p-xylyl p-toluate and its derivatives are removed. From the methanolic solution from crystallization containing, in addition to p-xylyl p-toluate and its derivatives, dimethyl teretolate isomers, methyl p-toluate, p-methyl benzoate, trimethyl trimethyl ester and certain amounts of dimethyl teretolate, the methanol is removed and the dimethyl teretolate isomers and trimellitic acid trimethyl ester are partially removed batchwise or continuously by vacuum distillation, the remainder containing mainly p-xylyl p-toluate and its derivatives, and Methyl p-toluate, p-formylbenzoic acid methyl ester, and dimethyl terephthalate are recycled to the oxidation of p-xylene and methyl p-toluate. (The resulting mixture, after stripping off the methyl terephthalate, can also be subjected to oxidation in a separate reactor with oxygen from air at a temperature of 200°C and under increased pressure in the presence of known oxidation catalysts, preferably organic salts of cobalt, manganese, and nickel or mixtures thereof. After oxidation, the mixture of aromatic carboxylic acids is subjected to oxidation in a known manner with dimethyl terephthalate to obtain dimethyl terephthalate and p-methyl terephthalate.) By separating p-xylidene p-toluate and its derivatives and recycling them to the oxidation process, the selectivity of the dimethyl terephthalate production process is increased by about 1-3 mole percent, depending on the method of dimethyl terephthalate production. In the case of processing residues from the distillation of crude esters, the selectivity of the dimethyl terephthalate production process is improved by about 1 mole percent. (The developed method also ensures obtaining good selectivity of the dimethylterephthalate production process with variable feed of the production installation and operational disruptions, as it allows the recycling of semi-finished products previously considered as waste, which were sent to incineration or special treatment, during which large losses of p-xylyl p-toluate and its derivatives occurred. Example I. Crude esters obtained in the process of producing dimethylterephthalate containing: p-xylate, 0.2% by weight, methyl benzoate, 2.3% by weight, methyl p-thioate, 2.5% by weight, methyl ester, p-iformylbenzoic acid, 2% by weight of other lower-boiling compounds. dimethyl terephthalate 0.2% by weight of dimethyl terephthalate (50% by weight of dimethyl isophtellate 6% by weight of dimethyl isophtellate 1% by weight of dimethyl isophtellate 1% by weight of trimethyl ester of dimethyl isophtellate 0.5% by weight of p-oxyethyl p-toluate and its derivatives 9% by weight of polynuclear compounds 9% by weight of anhydrous isophtelate 8% by weight of other higher boiling compounds! The dimethyl terephthalate (0.8% by weight) was subjected to vacuum distillation. (The distillation was carried out in a system of two industrial columns made of stainless steel. Htl7HSHl3IMi2fr, the first of which, with a diameter of 9.6 m and a height of 6.9 m, had 6 cap trays, and the second, with a diameter of 3.0 m and a height of 28.0 m, had 30 cap trays. The distillation system had evaporators, condensers, and feed pumps. The operating parameters of the first column were as follows: column reflux - 10% by weight in litres relative to the feed volume, column bottom temperature - 2149 PC, column top temperature - 1200 PC, column top pressure - 116 Torr, while the operating parameters of the second column were as follows: column top temperature —11140 °C, bottom temperature of the column — 50 ... 6 2.16% by weight 0.5% by weight (derivatives of the anhydride type containing ring-like compounds boiling higher than dimethylthiophene 20% by weight). By subjecting the obtained dimethylthiophene phosphate to fusion with methanol according to the known technique for obtaining dimethylthiophene 20% by weight, a filtrate was obtained, in addition to pure dimethylthiophene 20% by weight, from which, after removing the methanol, a residue of the following composition was obtained: p-methylphene 11.8% by weight; p-methylthiophene 21.0% by weight; methylbenzoate 11.7% by weight; methyl ester of (p-methylbenzoic acid 12.4% by weight other compounds boiling lower than dimethylterephthalate 0.9% by weight dimethylterephthalate 2B18% by weight dimethylisotolate 4% by weight 20 dimethylisotolate 6.8% by weight trimethylol ester 13.1% by weight p-methylisotolate and its ester derivatives 9.7% by weight 20 dimethylisotolate 1.7% by weight other compounds boiling higher than dimethylterephthalate 1.7% by weight The residue obtained was co-oxidized with p-xylene in a weight ratio of 1.4:1, in the absence of oxygen and air. The process was carried out in a laboratory 3-liter periodic reactor equipped with a heating jacket, a bubbler, and a condenser-separator system for recycling unreacted raw materials. The temperature at the bottom of the reactor (1 KWf°C) and the pressure (15 J ... Methyl benzoate 1.7% by weight Methyl p-toluate 0.4% by weight Other compounds boiling below 100% Dimethyl terephthalate 10.2% by weight Dimethyl terephthalate 1.5% by weight Dimethyl oxo(phthalate) 1.6% by weight Trimethyl oxo(phthalate) 1.4% by weight Trimethyl oxo(phthalate) 5% by weight Polycyclic compounds of the anhydrous type 0.9% by weight Compounds boiling above 60% Dimethyl terephthalate 0.5% by weight Acid p-toluic acid | 251% by weight terephthalic acid 12.9% by weight terephthalic acid monomethyl ester 112% by weight « 40% The balance of the oxidation process shows that the conversion of p-xylyl p-toluate and its derivatives is over 90% by weight. •% From the calculation of the oxidation process efficiency, assuming that the desired compounds such as p-toluic acid, terephthalic acid and terephthalic acid monomethyl ester are formed exclusively from p-xylene and methyl p-xylene, it follows that the selectivity is above 100% by weight, which proves that these acids are also formed from p-xylyl p-toluate. (Considering methyl p-toluate and its derivatives as reactants in the calculation of the oxidation process efficiency, in the discussed test a selectivity of about 97 mol% was obtained, which corresponds to the selectivity obtained during the oxidation of pure reactants p-xylene and methoxyfluoride p-toluate. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry methods were used for the identification and quantitative determination of p-xylene p-toluate and its derivatives. Example II. The residue after distilling methanol from the crystallization filtrate with the composition described in Example I was oxidized in the laboratory reactor described in Example I. The reaction was carried out with oxygen from the air in the presence of cobalt and manganese acetate activated by a mixture from the oxidation of p-xylene with a concentration of cobalt ions, calculated on the feed, of 0.081% by weight, manganese ions of 0.04% by weight, and 0.51% by weight of the reaction mixture from the oxidation of p-xylene after 2 hours of reaction. The process was carried out for 9 hours at a temperature of 65°C, under a pressure of 6 atmospheres, and a reaction mixture was obtained with the composition: p-xylene, traces of methyl benzoate of 16% by weight, methyl propylene glycol ester of p-dimethylbenzoate of 2.3% by weight, other lower-boiling compounds from dimethyl terephthalate. 0.8% by weight dimethyl terephthalate 23.6% by weight dimethyl isopropyl ester 21% by weight dimethyl orthophthalate 3.5% by weight trimethylol ester of ... The molecular weight of the resulting p-toluic, terephthalic, and monomethyl terephthalic acids, calculated on the basis of the reacted methyl p-toluate and p-asylyl p-toluate and its derivatives, was 916/01 moles. Example 11. The residue after distilling methanol from the crystallization filter cake of the composition described in Example 1 was continuously dosed with methyl p-toluate to industrial reactors, to which p-toluate and cataphthyl ether, consisting of bahtium, manganese, and nickel, were also added. The weight proportions of the reagents and The coffee grounds were found to contain phenyl xylene (1 part); p-tolmilate (2 parts), after crystallization tests (0 parts), potassium ions (4 parts), magnesium ions (10 parts), and ions (10 parts). The whole was oxidized again (in two H17aStaM3CT steel reactors with a capacity of 60 m3 each, in which the reaction mixture was already contained from previously conducted tests. The reactors have steam generators installed in them. The reactors are equipped with a vapor condenser, an exhaust gas separator, separators, receivers, and carbon filters for adsorption of p-xylene from the exhaust gases. The temperatures and pressures in the individual reactors were: in the first reactor, 6.1 atm, 5.3 atm, and in the second reactor, 1.5 atm, 1.5 atm. After 14 hours, the composition of the reaction mixture from the individual reactors stabilized. The change in the efficiency of the oxidation process indicates that the reaction mixture was stable. The reaction yield was 96.6 mol% compared to an identically conducted solnization test of p-methyl terephthalate and methyl p-toluate with a content of 5% by weight of the compounds above. The lower content of methyl p-toluate gives the same result.
