FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an improved method of separating acrylic acid and methacrylic acid in case of a liquid phase P containing acrylic and methacrylic acid, where content of acrylic acid is at least 50 wt % and where said liquid phase contains acrylic acid and methacrylic acid in molar ratio V from 3:2 to 100000:1, wherein separation is carried out via crystallisation, where acrylic acid is concentrated in the formed crystallised product while methacrylic acid is concentrated in the obtained residual melt.
EFFECT: method enables efficient separation of acrylic acid from methacrylic acid.
