A process for purifying methyl methacrylate.

摘要

A process for purifying methyl methacrylate which comprises treating methyl methacrylate having a purity of 99.5% or more containing a trace of impurities with a sulfonic acid group-containing compound. According to the present invention, there can be obtained highly purified methyl methacrylate which exhibits an absorbance of 0.02 or less in a range of wavelength of 400 - 500 nm according to the sulfuric acid color method and is free of even a trace of furan-type compounds.
