This invention discloses a method for purifying 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), belonging to the field of
chemical technology. The purification method includes the following steps: crude 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is subjected to alkali
dissolution, oxidation, acidification, stirring, pulping, washing, and
drying to obtain pure 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. In the acidification
crystallization process and the pulping and washing process, by selecting appropriate conditions such as the acidification
reaction temperature, the
oxygen content of the oxidation gas, the pulping and washing temperature, and the pulping and washing time, the purity of the obtained FDCA can reach 99.99%. Moreover, no organic solvents are used, meeting the requirements of
polymerization-grade products. Furthermore, and more importantly, the FDCA product obtained by this invention has excellent particle characteristics, high flowability, and high
bulk density, which is highly beneficial for downstream
polymerization reactions and also facilitates the packaging and transportation of the FDCA product.
