800 g of 95% strength sulfuric acid are initially taken and 200 g of 89.4% strength perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide are introduced at room temperature. The temperature of the mixture is then raised to 220° C., and this temperature is maintained for two hours. The mixture is then allowed to cool to room temperature and the precipitate which has been formed is filtered off with suction and washed first with 280 g of 80% strength sulfuric acid and then with water until it is neutral. Drying at 80° C. gives 171.6 g of crude perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride. This is introduced, with exclusion of light, into a solution composed of six liters of water and 140 g of 85% strength potassium hydroxide. While blanketed with nitrogen, the solution is heated to 80°-90° C., and stirring is continued for a further 90 minutes at this temperature. The mixture is then allowed to cool to 25° C., the pH is adjusted to a value of 8-9 and the solid residue is filtered off with suction and washed with 100 ml of water. (The residue is 34.1 g of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide which has only been half-saponified, i.e. perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid monoanhydride-monoimide, and this is expediently added to the next batch.) 60 g of 85% strength potassium hydroxide and 60 g of animal charcoal are introduced into the filtrate, with exclusion of light, and the mixture is then blanketed with nitrogen. After a further hour's stirring at 25° C., a solution of 60 g of iron(II) sulfate and 600 ml of water is added dropwise, the mixture is stirred for a further hour at 25° C. and is clarified, and the filtrate is then added dropwise to 600 g of concentrated hydrochloric acid, the mixture is kept at 80°-90° C. for one hour and the precipitate is filtered off with suction, washed with water until it is neutral and dried at 80° C. This gives 125.1 g of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride having the following extinction values:
