Package and storage
Storage : Keep container closed when not in use, Store in a cool, dry,well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizing substances.
Package : Pocket by measured or pocket in tank car
Preparation
High temp. oxidation: While acetic acid as solvent, Co,Mn, Br admixture as catalyzer p-xylene will oxidate into crude terephthalic acid <CTA>. Under certain temperature and pressure. Then CTA dissolve into water under high temperature and pressure. And passa Pd/C catalyzer settled vessel which is a reactor where the oxidation production will be hydrogenated in order to removeimpurity(4-CBA).Afterward.the hydrogenation production will become the final production(PTA) after crystallizing filtrating P-Tol acid and drying.
