1. A process for recovering monomeric acrylic acid from residues originating from processed crude acrylic acid and containing β

  • -acryloyloxypropionic acid, β

    -acetoxypropionic acid, hydracrylic acid, dihydracrylic acid and polymeric hydracrylic acid, wherein the residues are thermally cracked by heating to temperatures within the range 130° and

    250°

    C under pressures within the range 0.01 and 1 atmosphere absolute in contact with catalysts selected from alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carboxylates, phosphates or borates, or from alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compounds producing carboxylates together with the carboxylic acids contained in the residues, and the resulting monomeric acrylic acid so split off is distilled off.
