text: It has now been found that portions of a crude benzoic acid produced by incomplete oxidation of toluene with molecular oxygen can be separated and benzoic acid of particularly high purity can be obtained by a partial extraction process wherein the molten crude benzoic acid is contacted with liquid water at a temperature between about 95 C. and about 117 C., the water-crude benzoic acid proportion being such that two liquid aqueous benzoic acid phases coexist in substantial equilibrium.
