A method of replacing a first dispersion medium in a starting slurry composed of the first dispersion medium and a terephthalic acid crystal with a second dispersion medium. The starting slurry is tangentially fed to a vertically extending cylindrical portion of a cyclone-shaped nozzle disposed at an upper portion of a replacement tank of a dispersion medium replacement apparatus, from a tangential direction of the cylindrical portion. The fed starting slurry moves circularly along an inner wall of the cylindrical portion. The slurry circularly moving is then discharged from an opening which is disposed at a vertically lower end of the cylindrical portion and dispersed in a second dispersion medium which is fed from a lower portion of the replacement tank. The replaced slurry composed of the terephthalic acid crystal and the second dispersion medium is mainly discharged from the lower portion of the replacement tank, and the first dispersion medium is mainly withdrawn from the upper portion of the replacement tank.
