Abstract

Bromine-substituted oxygen-containing impurities in phthalic anhydride which cannot be removed therefrom by distillation or a combination of heat treatment in the presence of a metal or a combination of catalytic hydrogenation and fractional distillation are removed by treating a mixture of vapors of such impure phthalic anhydride and water with a palladium catalyst prior to taking phthalic anhydride as a product fraction of fractional distillation.
