Abstract

A process for purifying a phosphoric ester, which comprises treating a crude phosphoric ester with an epoxy compound, heating the resultant in the presence of water, washing the resultant with water, and removing the residual water. The obtained phosphoric esters have low acid value and are excellent in physical properties such as heat resistance, resistance to hydrolysis and storage stability, and are useful as plasticizers and/or flame-retardants.
