A process for the preparation of (meth)acrylic acid is disclosed that includes: (a) contacting a product gas containing (meth)acrylic acid obtained from a gas phase oxidation with an aqueous phase in a quenching unit to obtain an aqueous quenched phase, (b) contacting the quenched phase with an organic separating agent in an extraction unit to give a first phase and at least one other phase, (c) crystallizing at least one of the first phase and the at least one other phase, such as by a suspension crystallization, in a crystallization unit to obtain a pure (meth)acrylic acid. Also disclosed are a device for the preparation of (meth)acrylic acid, a process for the preparation of a polymer from the (meth)acrylic acid, a device for the preparation of the polymer, a polymer obtainable by this process, and the use of the (meth)acrylic acid or the polymer in a chemical product, such as fibers or shaped articles. |
