A process is disclosed for purifying a crude terephthalic acid mother liquor stream comprising oxidation catalysts, terephthalic acid, color bodies and impurities by hydrogenation in the presence of a rhodium-on-carbon catalyst wherein color bodies and impurities are hydrogenated to saturated compounds for subsequent oxidation to carbon oxides. The terephthalic acid in said stream is thereupon recovered.
