Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid purge process

A process for producing a carboxylic acid composition, said process comprising:

• (a) oxidizing in a primary oxidation zone, at least one oxidizable compound comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (5-HMF), 5-(chloromethyl)furfural (5-CMF), 2,5-dimethylfuran (2,5-DMF), 5-HMF esters (5-R(CO)OCH2-furfural where R=alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl), 5-HMF ethers (5-R′OCH2-furfural, where R′=alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl), 5-alkyl furfurals (5-R″-furfural, where R″=alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl), alkylcarboxylate of methyfuran (5-R″′O(CO)-methylfuran, where R′″=alkyl, cycloalkyl), alkylcarboxylate of alkoxyfuran (5-R″″O(CO)—OR″″′furan, where R″″=alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl and R″″′=alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl), mixed feed-stocks of 5-HMF and 5-HMF esters and mixed feed-stocks of 5-HMF and 5-HMF ethers, mixed feed-stocks of 5-HMF and 5-alkyl furfurals, mixed feed-stocks of 5-HMF and 5-CMF, mixed feed-stocks of 5-HMF and 2,5-DMF, mixed feed-stocks of 5-HMF and alkylcarboxylate of methyfuran, mixed feed-stocks of 5-HMF and alkylcarboxylate of alkoxyfuran, in the presence of a solvent stream, an oxidizing gas, and a catalyst system at a temperature of about 110° C. to about 220° C. to produce said carboxylic acid composition comprising furandicarboxylic acid at a yield of 80% or more and an oxidation solvent;
• (b) polymerizing said carboxylic acid composition;
• wherein said oxidation and Polymerization manufacturing facilities, one for said oxidation, and the other for said polymerization is within 10 miles
