1. A process for producing an aromatic carboxylic acid, said process comprising oxidizing an oxidation feed comprising at least one oxidizable compound and at least one solvent comprising a monocarboxylic acid, wherein at least a portion of said monocarboxylic acid originated from a wood acetylation
1. A process for producing an aromatic carboxylic acid, said process comprising oxidizing an oxidation feed comprising at least one oxidizable compound and at least one solvent comprising a monocarboxylic acid, wherein at least a portion of said monocarboxylic acid originated from a wood acetylation process; and wherein said solvent further comprises one or more terpenes or terpene derivatives; wherein at least 50% of the said terpenes or terpenes derivatives are oxidized in said oxidation reactor to form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. 2. The process of claim 1, wherein said solvent further comprises acetic anhydride in an amount of at least 0.01 weight percent based on the weight of monocarboxylic acid employed from said wood acetylation process. 3. The process of claim 2, wherein said oxidizing produces water as a byproduct, wherein at least a portion of said acetic anhydride consumes at least a portion of said water. 4. The process of claim 1, wherein said monocarboxylic acid comprises acetic acid, wherein at least 5 weight percent of said acetic acid is acetic acid originated from said wood acetylation process. 5. The process of claim 4, wherein said solvent comprises a combined concentration of all of said terpenes in an amount of at least 0.01 weight percent based on the weight of acetic acid employed from said wood acetylation process. 6. The process of claim 1, said process further comprising at least one purification step. 7. The process of claim 1, wherein said oxidizable compound comprises para-xylene, wherein said carboxylic acid comprises terephthalic acid. 8. A process for producing an aromatic carboxylic acid, said process comprising: (a) contacting at least one lignocellulosic material with a compound containing at least one acetyl group to thereby produce an acetylated lignocellulosic material and an acid-containing composition; and(b) introducing at least a portion of said acid-containing composition and an oxidizable compound into a carboxylic acid production process, wherein said acid-containing composition comprises acetic acid; and wherein said acid-containing composition comprises one or more terpenes or terpene derivatives in an amount of at least 0.01 weight percent based on the weight of said acetic acid in said acid-containing composition; wherein at least 50% of the said terpenes or terpenes derivatives are oxidized in said oxidation reactor to form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. 9. The process of claim 8, wherein said acid-containing composition further comprises acetic anhydride in an amount of at least 0.01 weight percent based on the weight of said acetic acid in said acid-containing composition. 10. The process of claim 8, wherein said carboxylic acid production process comprises an oxidation reactor, wherein said process further comprises oxidizing at least a portion of said oxidizable compound in the presence of at least a portion of said acid-containing composition in said oxidation reactor, wherein said oxidizing produces water as a byproduct, wherein at least a portion of said acetic anhydride consumes at least a portion of said water. 11. The process of claim 8, wherein said lignocellulosic material comprises wood, wherein said compound containing at least one acetyl group comprises acetic anhydride in an amount of at least 0.05 weight percent. 12. The process of claim 8, wherein said oxidizable compound comprises para-xylene, wherein said carboxylic acid comprises terephthalic acid. 13. The process of claim 10, wherein said carboxylic acid production process further comprises at least one purification step. 14. A process for producing an aromatic carboxylic acid, said process comprising oxidizing an oxidizable compound in an oxidation reactor in the presence of at least one solvent, wherein said solvent comprises acetic anhydride in an amount of at least 0.01 weight percent based on the total weight of the solvent; wherein said solvent comprises acetic anhydride in an amount of at least 0.05 weight percent based on the total weight of the solvent. 15. The process of claim 14, wherein said solvent comprises terpenes in a cumulative amount of at least 0.01 weight percent based on the total weight of the solvent. 16. The process of claim 15, wherein at least a portion of said terpenes or terpenes derivatives are oxidized in said oxidation reactor to form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. 17. The process of claim 15, wherein at least 70% of the said terpenes or terpenes derivatives are oxidized in said oxidation reactor to form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. 18. The process of claim 15, wherein at least 90% of the said terpenes or terpenes derivatives are oxidized in said oxidation reactor to form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. 19. The process of claim 15, wherein at least 99% of the said terpenes or terpenes derivatives are oxidized in said oxidation reactor to form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. 20. The process of claim 15, wherein at least 99.9% of the said terpenes or terpenes derivatives are oxidized in said oxidation reactor to form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. 21. The process of claim 15, wherein at least a portion of said terpenes or terpenes derivatives are oxidized in said oxidation reactor but do not affect conversion, yield and product quality. 22. The process of claim 14, wherein said oxidizing produces water as a byproduct, wherein at least a portion of said acetic anhydride consumes at least a portion of said water. 23. The process of claim 14, wherein at least a portion of said solvent originates from a wood acetylation process. 24. The process of claim 14, wherein said solvent further comprises acetic acid and/or water, wherein said carboxylic acid comprises terephthalic acid, wherein said oxidizable compound comprises para-xylene. 25. The process of claim 14, said process further comprising at least one purification step.
