IPC: C07C51/487
Filed: 1998-02-17
Abstract: A process for producing purified terephthalic
acid capable of controlling the transmittance of the
purified terephthalic acid product promptly in a simple
procedure without necessitating to alter the condition
of the oxidation of paraxylene to thereby permit a
minute control of the process and to allow to obtain a
purified terephthalic acid product with a low and
constant impurity level within a certain range, which
process comprises
   hydrogenating a crude terephthalic acid
resulting from a liquid phase oxidation of paraxylene
in a hydrogenation reactor 6 in the presence of a
hydrogenation catalyst, followed by precipitation of
the crystals 8, a solid/liquid separation 11,
re-slurrying 14 of the separated crystals in water and
a further solid/liquid separation 16, to obtain a
purified terephthalic acid; observing the transmittance
of the resulting purified terephthalic acid; and
controlling the temperature of the washing water so as
to maintain the observed transmittance within a
predetermined range.

Abstract: At the turbine step, in a steam turbine, the working medium is deflected from an inflow spiral (41) through the inflow channel (40) into a radial direction by a guide grid (Le). At the following downstream flow channel (50), the flow is deflected so that it has an axial flow through the following turbine wheel (La). The structure of the wall contours (27,28) of the housing (20) and hub (21) give the main flow line (51) initially a direction component which is radially outwards and then, shortly before the turbine wheel (La), a pure axial alignment. The flow through the turbine wheel (La) is homogenized by a curvature which is against the original deflection curvature. The kink points (AA,BB) at the channel wall (28), at the hub side, are downstream of the corresponding kink points (A,B) at the housing side of the channel. The flow is additionally homogenized by the divergent-convergent channel contour structure.
