Abstract

See full text

A continuous or batch process for the production and recovery of substantially pure carboxylic acids and ammonium salts from a corresponding nitrile. By controlling the amount of water used in the reaction, a biphasic reaction mixture forms which facilitate simultaneous recovery of both fractions. In a preferred embodiment, using propionitrile as the starting material and strong sulfuiric acid, propionic acid of approximately 98% purity is produced in the upper phase. A combination of hydrochloric and sulfuric acid can reduce the total reaction volume.
