Hi

maleic anhydride is produced by oxidation of normal butane in presence of catalyst. the reaction is known. but

 

in this process in recovery section, maleic acid is produced too. I dont know by which method maleic acid is

 

produced during this process and I dont know  anything about the reaction of producing maleic acid.

 

I will appreciate you if you give me some help.

 

thanks

consider this document with little info about process  .

Probably you can find more info in Kirk Othmer

 

Hope this helps
