Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides a method for removal of organic compounds, such as acetic acid, from waste water streams in processes for production of (meth)acrylic acid. In particular, a mixed product gas, comprising (meth)acrylic acid, acetic acid, propylene and acrolein, is subjected to fractional absorption to produce an aqueous product stream comprising (meth)acrylic acid, water and acetic acid, and an absorber off-gas stream comprising propylene and acrolein. The aqueous product stream is distilled to produce a purified (meth)acrylic acid stream and a waste water stream comprising water and acetic acid. The absorber off gas is then contacted with the waste water stream and at least a portion of the acetic acid moves from the waste water stream to the absorber off gas to produce a stripped waste water stream and an enriched absorber off gas.
