 Production of ortho-phthalic acid and its conversion and recovery of phthalic anhydride - Patent 4215053
Phthalic anhydride of commercially acceptable quality can be produced continuously in yields of from about 80 up to about 83 mole percent (% of theoretical) through a combination of steps starting with the neat oxidation of liquid o-xylene with air in the presence of catalysis provided by cobalt, manganese and bromine.
Such impure liquid phthalic anhydride is refluxed with water for 90 minutes to precipitate o-phthalic acid which is recovered by filtration and the filter cake extracted with ether.
The reflux liquid containing phthalic anhydride, benzoic acid, o-toluic acid and phthalide is heated to a temperature which vaporizes the reflux liquid but not phthalic anhydride but rather the heating leaves the anhydride as a liquid in which phthalide, benzoic acid and o-toluic acid become dissolved.

 Method for producing phthalic anhydride - Patent 6700000
Phthalic anhydride is prepared by catalytic gas-phase oxidation of xylene and/or naphthalene by a gas comprising molecular oxygen in a fixed bed at elevated temperature and using at least three coated catalysts arranged in superposed zones, which catalysts have a layer of catalytically active metal oxides applied to a core of support material.
The present invention relates to a process for preparing phthalic anhydride in which the catalytic gas-phase oxidation of o-xylene and/or naphthalene is carried out over at least three zones of catalysts of increasing activity and in which the increase in activity of the zones is effected in a particular way.
This is used to obtain, for example, benzoic acid, maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid or pyromellitic anhydride.
