Abstract

A method is disclosed for the purification of crude aromatic carboxylic acid by passing a solution of crude aromatic carboxylic acid in the presence of hydrogen through a first zone containing a hydrogenation catalyst based on a carbon carrier material then passing the solution through an abrasion resistant material thereby reducing the amount of carbon particles contained in the purified aromatic carboxylic acid.
