An aromatic dicarboxylic acid is purified by oxidizing m-xylene or p-xylene to produce crude isophthalic acid or crude terephthalic acid, respectively. The products of the oxidizing step are hydrogenated in the presence of a palladium catalyst. Carbon monoxide is introduced during the hydrogenation step. The palladium catalyst is provided on a carbon substrate. The products of the oxidizing step are dissolved in a solvent, which may be water, prior to the hydrogenation step. The products of the oxidizing step may be dissolved at an elevated temperature, above the normal boiling point of the solvent. The oxidation step produces isophthalic acid, 3-carboxybenzaldehyde and fluorenones in the case of oxidizing m-xylene and produces terephthalic acid, 4-carboxybenzaldehyde and fluorenones in the case of oxidizing p-xylene. It may be helpful to monitor the disappearance of 3-carboxybenzaldehyde in the case of oxidizing m-xylene and 4-carboxybenzaldehyde in the case of oxidizing pxylene, and reducing the amount of carbon monoxide when the rate of disappearance is below a predetermined minimum. After the hydrogenation step, the isophthalic acid or terephthalic acid may be crystallized. The carbon monoxide may be maintained at a concentration of 100 to 500 ppm based on added hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Other aromatic dicarboxylic acids may also purified by this procedure.
