Description of the invention (ι) Technical scope of the invention The present invention relates to a method for preparing high-purity terephthalic acid (hereinafter referred to as PTA), which is a crude terephthalic acid (hereinafter referred to as CTA) obtained by liquid-phase oxidation of para-xylene. Obtained from hydroprocessing. Conventional technology When para-xylene is oxidized with a molecular oxygen-containing gas, in addition to terephthalic acid (hereinafter referred to as TA), a CTA containing 4-carboxybenzaldehyde (hereinafter referred to as 4-CBA) as a major impurity is formed. However, when manufacturing polyester fibers, pTA is required as a raw material, and the above-mentioned CTA must be refined. For the production of PTA, a method for hydrotreating CTA in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst is known (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-6 6 5 5 3). Due to hydrogenation, 4-CBA can be reduced to water-soluble p-phenylacetic acid even at low temperatures. After crystallization, solid-liquid separation, etc., p-phenylacetic acid is separated from terephthalic acid to make PTA. The above-mentioned hydrogenation treatment forms a fixed layer of a solid catalyst in the reactor, and a CTA aqueous solution passes through the catalyst layer to supply hydrogen at the same time. At this time, the CTA aqueous solution is prepared by dispersing CTA powder in water to form a slurry, and heating to dissolve CTA in water. In order to perform the reaction with good efficiency at this time, the concentration of the formed slurry should be equivalent to the solubility of terephthalic acid when heated. Conventionally, the slurrying of CTA is generally carried out by introducing water and powdered CTA into a water slurry preparation tank having a rotating stirring blade, and stirring to form a slurry. This method is to continuously supply water and powdered CTA while agitating the liquid in the slurry preparation tank to disperse the powdered CTA in water. However, because the affinity of powder CTA and water is not high, it will be in a state containing bubbles. 1239948 V. Description of the invention (2) Dispersion 9 Bubbles are difficult to separate. In the bubble-containing state, the powdered CTA will flow in a block shape and will not dissolve when heated. When it flows into the hydrogenation reactor in a block shape, it will collect in the hydrogenation catalyst layer, causing blockage. To prevent this, the amount of powdered CTA dispersed has been reduced to form a low-concentration aqueous slurry, which reduces the amount of CTA that becomes a bubble-like mass, so that it can be dissolved by heating. However, when supplying a low-concentration slurry, the efficiency of the hydrogenation reaction decreases, which is a problem. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing high-purity terephthalic acid, which can promote the decomposition of air bubbles, uniformly disperse the powder CAT, form a high-concentration aqueous slurry, and perform the hydrogenation reaction with good efficiency. Therefore, PTA can be produced with good efficiency. ') The present invention is a method for producing high-purity terephthalic acid described below. 1. A method for purifying terephthalic acid, which is a process of mixing the crude terephthalic acid obtained by liquid-phase oxidation of p-xylene with water to form a slurry. The slurry is heated to form a crude terephthalic acid solution, which is present in a hydrogenation catalyst. Hydrogenation treatment to produce pure terephthalic acid, which is characterized in that the powdered crude terephthalic acid and a part of water are pre-mixed in a kneading device to form a premix having a concentration of 55 to 75 wt%. Mixed with the remaining water to form a slurry, and subjected to hydrotreating. 0 2. As for the remaining method of item (1), it is premixed by a continuous kneading device. 03. As for the method of item (1) above, it is used. The rotation arranged in the horizontal direction -4- 1239948 V. Description of the invention (3) Turn the circular plate to send the powder CTA in a radial direction and mix it with water to make the mixture obstruct the path movement in a narrow zigzag shape and homogenize it. A rotating disc-shaped kneading device performs premixing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an example of a method for producing a high-purity terephthalic acid; and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a kneading device. Lingming detailed description The crude terephthalic acid (CAT) of the hydrotreating object of the present invention is a crude terephthalic acid obtained by the liquid-phase oxidation of p-xylene. These terephthalic acids generally contain the main impurity 4-CBA0.1 to about 0.4% by weight. The above-mentioned liquid-phase oxidation of p-xylene is performed using a solvent and a catalyst. The solvents used in the liquid-phase oxidation of p-xylene include fatty acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, n-butyric acid, isobutyric acid, n-valeric acid, trimethylacetic acid, and hexanoic acid, or mixtures with water. Among them, acetic acid or an aqueous acid described later is preferred. The liquid-phase oxidation catalysts of para-xylene are generally heavy metal compounds and / or bromine-containing compounds, the former being nickel, cobalt, iron, chromium, manganese, etc., both of which are elemental forms or compounds to dissolve in the form of the reaction system Better to use. Cobalt compounds, manganese compounds, and bromine compounds are preferred. The amount of cobalt compounds is usually 10 to 10,000 ppm of cobalt in the solvent, preferably 100 to 3000 ppm. For manganese compounds, the atomic ratio of manganese to cobalt is 0.001 to 2. Similarly, the atomic ratio of the bromine compound to cobalt is 0.1 to 5. Liquid-phase oxidation of para-xylene is performed using a molecular oxygen-containing gas. These oxygen-containing gases are usually oxygen diluted with an inert gas, such as air 1239948 5. Invention Description (4) or oxygen-enriched air. The temperature of the oxidation reaction is usually from 150 to 270 ° C, preferably from 170 ° C to 220 ° C. The pressure must be at least the pressure at which the mixture remains in the liquid phase at the reaction temperature, usually 0.5 to 4 MPa. (Gauge pressure). Moreover, the response time depends on the size of the device, etc., but usually the residence time is about 20 to 180 minutes. The water concentration in the reaction system is usually 3 to 30% by weight, and preferably 5 to 15% by weight. The CTA obtained from the above-mentioned liquid-phase oxidation reaction is introduced into a reactor, and is subjected to a hydrogenation treatment in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst to produce PTA. At this time, the CTA separated from the mother liquor in the liquid-phase oxidation reaction is liquefied with water, and the obtained The aqueous slurry is heated and pressurized, and is introduced into the reactor with an aqueous terephthalic acid solution, and is subjected to a hydrogenation treatment. Generally, the CTA concentration of the slurry is 10 to 40% by weight, preferably 20 to 30% by weight, but the concentration corresponding to the solubility during heating and pressurizing is preferred. In the present invention, to form a slurry, a part of powder CTA is pre-mixed with water using a kneading device to form a pre-mixture with a concentration of 55-75 wt%, preferably 60 to 70 wt%. This pre-mix is then mixed with the remaining water. Mix to make the powder CTA uniformly dispersed to form a slurry with few bubbles or lumps. The pre-mixing of the powder CTA and part of the water is performed by a kneading device. The kneading device is a device for kneading the mixed CTA in the presence of water, and a general kneading device can be used. For these kneading devices, if the container rotating type can be a ball mill shape, the container fixed type can be a horizontal axis rotary blade shape, a roller shape, a screw shape, a disc shape, and a vertical axis rotary blade shape, a flat wheel shape, and high-speed flow. Shape, rotating disc shape, shaking and rotating shape; container vibration 1239948 V. Description of the invention (5) The moving type has a vibration mill, preferably a continuous type. The best kneading device is a rotating plate mixing device, which uses a rotating circular plate arranged horizontally to send the powder CTA in a radial direction and mixes it with water to make the mixture move in a narrow zigzag shape and obstruct the path, making it homogeneous. Into. In this kneading device, the powder CTA and a part of water are mixed so that the CTA concentration is 55-75% by weight, preferably 60-70% by weight. The air bubbles adhering to the powder CTA are separated to make the powder cTA and water present. Mix uniformly to form a homogenized premix. The premix thus obtained removes air bubbles, and the water and CTA are in a state of being uniformly mixed, and then introduced into the slurry preparation tank with the remaining water, followed by stirring and sticking, and the powder CTA is uniformly dispersed to form a homogenized slurry. In this case, the mixing mechanism can be prepared by using a mixing tank or the like having a rotary stirring blade. At this time, the CTT concentration of the slurry is as described above, but in this case, there are fewer lumps due to the removal of bubbles in the premix, so the slurry concentration is high, it is easy to dissolve, and the slurry concentration can approach the solubility. The slurry thus obtained was heated to dissolve the CTA to become a terephthalic acid solution, which was introduced into the reactor and subjected to a hydrogenation treatment. The reactor used for the hydrotreating treatment is only required to be capable of supplying hydrogen in a state in which it is in contact with the CTA aqueous solution, and its shape and structure are not limited. The preferred reactor is filled with solid catalyst to form a fixed layer, which has an inlet and outlet to allow the CTA aqueous solution to pass through. It should also have a hydrogen supply path to supply hydrogen according to 1239948 V. Description of the invention (6). The CTA solution can flow upward, but the inlet is connected to the upper part of the reactor and the outlet is connected to the lower part, so it is better to flow downward, and the hydrogen supply path is connected to the top of the reactor so that the hydrogen is supplied from above. The hydrotreating is in a normal state. The CTA and water slurry are heated and pressurized to a temperature above 230 ° C, preferably 240 ~ 30 (TC is preferred, the pressure is 1-11 MPa, and preferably 3 ~ 9 MPa, which dissolves the terephthalic acid. The obtained CTA aqueous solution is supplied to the reactor, and when passing through the catalyst layer, hydrogen is supplied at a flow rate of 1.5 times more than 4 CBA in the CTA aqueous solution, more preferably 2 times more than Molar, for hydrogenation. The reaction temperature of hydrogen is above 230 ° C, preferably 255 to 30 (TC is preferred, pressure is 1 to 11 MPa is preferably 3 to 9 MPa (gauge pressure), and the hydrogen partial pressure is above 0.05 MPa to 0.05 About 2 MPa is preferred. Hydrogenation treatment is used to reduce 4-CBA in CTA to water-soluble p-phenylacetic acid, which is crystallized at 300 ° C or lower, more preferably at 100 to 280 t, and subjected to solid-liquid separation. The terephthalic acid slurry is separated from p-phenylacetic acid to obtain purified terephthalic acid. This purified terephthalic acid is then liquefied in an aqueous slurry to move the foreign matter attached to the crystal to the water side, and then solid-liquid separation and drying are performed to make a high-purity pair. Phthalic acid (PTA). Effect of the invention. According to the present invention, the powder CTA and a part of water are kneaded to form a premix, and this premix Mixed with the remaining water to form a slurry, which can promote the separation of bubbles, uniformly disperse the powder CTA, form a high temperature water slurry, and perform the hydrogenation reaction with good efficiency, so the PTA can be manufactured with good efficiency. Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings Explain the embodiment of the present invention. 1239948 V. Description of the invention (7) The first diagram is a flowchart of an embodiment of the PTA method. In the first diagram, the PTA is manufactured by first supplying powder CTA1 and a portion of water 2a to The kneading device 3 is premixed to form a premix 4 having a concentration of 55 to 75% by weight, and then supplied to the slurry preparation tank 5 with other water 2b, and if necessary, other water (supply water) 2c is supplied and stirred to form a slurry. This slurry is heated and pressurized to dissolve CTA, and this CTA aqueous solution 6 and hydrogen 7 are supplied to a hydrogenation reactor 8 for hydrogenation treatment. The reaction solution 9 after the hydrogenation treatment is depressurized, cooled, and introduced into a crystallization tank. Crystallize within 10. The resulting slurry 11 is introduced into the solid-liquid separation device 12 to perform solid-liquid separation. The solid-liquid separation is usually performed in multiple stages. The separation liquid 13a in the previous stage is discharged as waste water, and the solid-liquid separation in the later stage is Water supply (Washing water) 2d and then slurried, and after solid-liquid separation, the subsequent separation liquid 1 3b is circulated as water 2a, 2b. The separated crystals 14 are dried in a desiccator 15 to make PTA 16. 6. Section 2 The figure is a cross-sectional view of the kneading device 3, which uses a rotating disk-shaped kneading device of a vertical axis rotation type. The kneading device 3 is rotated by a vertical rotating shaft 21, and the center of the rotating disk 22 arranged in the horizontal direction opens the CTA supply path 23, A circular disk-shaped partition plate 25 is provided around the front end via an annular gap 24, which is approximately parallel to the rotating circular plate 22, and the peripheral portion is thickened, and the peripheral portions of the guide plates 26, 27 covering these peripheral portions from the upper and lower sides are covered. At the same time, a meandering obstacle path 28 is formed. 29 is a water supply path provided around the CTA supply path 23, and 30 is a casing. The kneading device 3 uses the rotating shaft 21 to rotate the rotating circular plate 22, and the powder CTA is supplied by the CTA supply channel 23. The water is supplied 2a by the water supply channel 29. The powder CTA1 from the CTA supply channel 23 hits the rotating circular plate 22 and flows in a radial direction. It is mixed with the gap 1239948 V. Description of the invention (8) 2 4 The water flowing out flows in a vortex in the peripheral direction, mixes with the water flowing out of the upper side of the partition plate 25 and flows in a zigzag way through the obstructing path 28, thereby powdering CTA and water are pre-mixed, and the air bubbles are separated, so that the powder CTA and water are evenly mixed to form a homogeneous pre-mix 4. The homogenized premix 4 is stirred and mixed with the water 2b, 2c in the slurry preparation tank 5 so that the powdered CTA does not agglomerate, and the water is evenly dispersed to form a homogenized slurry. Therefore, even if the CTA concentration of the slurry is increased, it can be almost completely dissolved when heated and pressurized to obtain a homogeneous TA aqueous solution, which can improve the reaction efficiency of the hydrogenation treatment in the hydrogenation reactor 8. The above examples use a rotating disk-shaped kneading device, but other forms can also be used. In the solid-liquid separation device 12, the crystals 14 separated by the solid-liquid separation can be dried, but the separated crystals 14 can also be added with water to liquefy the water again.
