Page/Page column 4-5, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, and more particularly, to a method for the preparation of naphthalene dicarboxylic acid by oxidizing dimethylnaphthalene with oxygen in air in the presence of acetic acid solvent using the metal catalysts of cobalt and manganese, and using bromine as a reaction initiator, wherein the temperature of said oxidation reaction is 155 to 180° C. The method for the preparation of naphthalene dicarboxylic acid of the invention enables the preparation of naphthalene dicarboxylic acid having high purity with a high yield in an economical way at a low temperature.
