Zusammenfassung:A process for recovering (meth)acrylic acid includes distilling a mixture comprising (meth)acrylic acid in a finishing column at less than atmospheric pressure to produce a finishing column overhead stream and a finishing column bottoms stream. An overhead aspirating direct contact condenser system at least partially condenses the finishing column overhead stream to form a finishing column overhead condensate and an overhead non-condensables vent stream. A finishing column vapor-phase side draw may also be recovered. An aspirating direct contact condenser system may be used to at least partially condense the vapor-phase side draw.
