'Phis will eliminate the solvent soluble tars from being isolated along with the T3M. fhe solvent soluble tars have been the source of off-quality acid from recent production, resulting in the final product5 2-tert-BAtylsnthmquinone Fur, being low in quality and yield. RESULTS OF TEST: Twenty-seven charges totaling 54,336 lb. were produced in the last campaign. The yield was 97% of standard and She product was white to a very pale yellow with a melting rang of 145C. minimum. (Specification ig i4s*C. minima.) Subsequent processing of this material to 2-tert-But^lanthraquinone Pure gave satisfactory product. RECOMMENDATIONS: This process be adopted for all future production. i OISTRJBUTfOU W. P.
