Abstract
The present invention provides a method for preparing solid p-disodium hydroxybenzoate which is characterized by comprising the steps of reacting phenol, carbon tetrachloride in an amount of 0.9 to 1.2 moles per mole of phenol and sodium hydroxide in an amount of 7 to 20 moles per mole of phenol prior to the reaction in an aqueous liquid containing 10 to 40% by weight of p-disodium hydroxybenzoate and/or sodium chloride in the presence of a transition metal powder in an amount of 0.01 to 1.00% by weight based on the weight of a reaction system at a reaction temperature of 50.degree. to 150.degree. C.; cooling the resulting reaction mixture to a level of -20.degree. to +20.degree. C.; and separating said p-disodium hydroxybenzoate therefrom.
