METHOD OF INHIBITING POLYMERIZATION AND FOULING IN ACRYLIC ACID AND ACRYLATE PROCESSES

A method of decarboxylating maleic acid to acrylic acid, the method comprising the step of contacting a solution comprising maleic acid with at least 500 ppm of an N-oxyl compound at a temperature of at least 120°C. The preferred N-oxyl compound is 4-hydroxy-TEMPO, in some cases in combination with...
