Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for preparation of pure methacrylic acid, at least comprising the process steps: a) gas phase oxidation of a C4 compound to obtain a methacrylic acid-comprising gas phase, b) condensation of the methacrylic acid-comprising gas phase to obtain an aqueous methacrylic acid solution, c) separation of at least a part of the methacrylic acid from the aqueous methacrylic acid solution to obtain at least one crude methacrylic acid-comprising product; d) separation of at least a part of the methacrylic acid from the at least one crude methacrylic acid-comprising product by means of a thermal separation process to obtain a pure methacrylic acid.
