PURPOSE:To obtain high-purity terephthalic acid, by oxidizing p-xylene with molecular oxygen, additionally oxidizing the resultant product at a lower temperature as necessary, additionally oxidizing the product at a high temperature and feeding molecular oxygen into a feed line for feeding the reaction mixture to the first crystallizer. CONSTITUTION:>=95wt%, preferably >=98wt% p-xylene is oxidized into terephthalic acid with molecular oxygen at 180-230 deg.C, preferably 190-210 deg.C in the presence of a catalyst consisting of a heavy metal and bromine in acetic acid solvent and, as necessary, preliminary additional oxidation is carried out using molecular oxygen at a temperature 20-30 deg.C lower than the above- mentioned temperature and further additional oxidation is performed at 235-290 deg.C using molecular oxygen. Molecular oxygen is then fed into a feed line for feeding the resultant reaction mixture to the first crystallizer to afford the titled substance. EFFECT:The terephthalic acid obtained by the above-mentioned method can be directly reacted with a glycol component to produce a polyester.
