Different synthesis of acetic acid have been studied and compared. The most important objective of the development of new acetic acid processes is, to reduce raw material consumption, energy requirements, and investment costs. Different methods have been presented for synthesis of acetic acid in literature but industrial processes for the production of acetic acid are dominated by methanol carbonylation and the oxidation of hydrocarbons such as acetaldehyde, ethylene, n-butane, and naphtha. In addition of comparison synthesis methods, application of the product is investigated and advantages of the methods have been presented. In this regard, proper process for production of acetic acid can be selected. Finally results showed that the using methanol carbonylation method is proper because of high purity, low production cost, reaction condition, yield and also no undesired byproduct as the best choice for production acetic acid.

Presented Wednesday 19, 13:30 to 15:00, in session Catalysis (T2-13P).
