Verfahren zur Herstellung von hochreiner 2,6-Naphthalindicarbonsäure

摘要

The present invention provides a method of preparing high purity 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid in which the contents of coloring substances, heavy metal and bromine compounds can be reduced by dissolving coarse crystals of 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid containing impurities in supercritical or subcritical water containing an entrainer composed of an organic solvent containing oxygen and having a specific solubility parameter, and by cooling an obtained solution to cause crystals to precipitate so as to separate the crystals from mother liquor.
