Abstract: A process for purifying (meth)acrylic acid by phase separation techniques comprises the following steps: (a) a mixture containing (meth)acrylic acid is separated into distinct phases in the presence of an organic solvent, with the composition of the (meth)acrylic acid-rich phase remaining essentially unchanged, and this acid-rich phase is separated; (b) the remaining phase from step (a) is separated into indistinct phases; and (c) one of the phases from step (b) is returned to step (a). Also claimed is preparation of (meth)acrylic acid. Preferably in step (c) the acid-rich phase is returned to step (a). 1-100 (100) wt.% of the phase remaining from step (a) is used in step (b). Pure end product is added to steps (a) and (b). Step (a) involves crystallisation, freezing or sublimation, preferably static and/or dynamic crystallisation, and most preferably a combined static and dynamic crystallisation in which the residue from the dynamic crystallisation is added to the static crystallisation step and the crystallised product from the static crystallisation is returned to the dynamic crystallisation.

Abstract: A process for the continuous recovery of (meth)acrylic acid from a liquid starting mixture containing (meth)acrylic acid, a high-boiling organic solvent and low boilers, medium boilers and high boilers is proposed, the mixture being separated into a first part-stream (a), which, in addition to (meth)acrylic acid, contains the low boilers and a part each of the medium boilers and high boilers, and a second part-stream (b), which contains the predominant part of the (meth)acrylic acid and is completely or virtually completely free of low boilers, and the (meth)acrylic acid being recovered from the part-stream (b).
