Process for preparing fine crystal particle of maleic anhydride and maleic anhydride composition containing such maleic anhydride particle

摘要

A method of preparing fine crystal particles of maleic anhydride is provided. The method contains the steps of putting a molten mass of maleic anhydride into a hermetically closed container moved at a moving rate of 1 to 30 times per minute and cooling the molten mass to room temperature over three hours or more. A maleic anhydride composition contains 0.01 to 5 wt. parts of colloidal silica relative to 100 wt. parts of maleic anhydride particles.
