摘要
Terephthalic acid (TPA) is a major commodity chemical manufactured by the air oxidation of p-xylene. TPA is a crystal which contains two carboxylic groups in the para position on a benzene ring. It is reacted with ethylene glycol via a condensation reaction in the manufacture of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a polyester, which is used as a fiber and for plastic containers. It is the purpose of this work to directly measure the aging rate of TPA in aqueous solution and relate this to a mechanism based on temperature fluctuations, crystal dissolution, and crystal growth.
