摘要:
A process for the production of acetic acid which process comprises the steps of. (a) introducing methanol and/or a reactive derivative thereof and carbon monoxide into a first reaction zone containing a liquid reaction composition comprising a carbonylation catalyst, optionally a carbonylation catalyst promoter, methyl iodide, methyl acetate, acetic acid and water, (b) withdrawing at least a portion of the liquid reaction composition from the first reaction zone; (c) passing at least a portion of the withdrawn liquid reaction composition to a second reaction zone, wherein a gas feed comprising carbon monoxide is added to the liquid reaction composition withdrawn from the first reaction zone at one or more points upstream of the second reaction zone, one or more points within the second reaction zone, or a combination of one or more points upstream of the second reaction zone and one or more points within the second reaction zone; and (d) passing at least a portion of the liquid reaction composition from the second reaction zone into a flash separation zone to form: a vapour fraction, which comprises acetic acid, methyl iodide, methyl acetate and low pressure off-gas; and, a liquid fraction, which comprises carbonylation catalyst and optional carbonylation catalyst promoter; wherein the flow rate in kg of gas feed comprising carbon monoxide which is added to the second reaction zone per tonne of liquid reaction composition being passed to the flash separation zone (kg/te), is in the range of from 0.5FG to 1.2FG, wherein FG is defined according to equation 1: (1) FG=(0.296086962×tr)+(0.369636×RR)+(0.295878701×GP0,8134)−23.3448 wherein, tr is the residence time (seconds) of the liquid reaction composition within the second reaction zone which is calculated using equation 2: (2) tr=V2/Ff wherein, V2 is the volume of the second reaction zone (m3) and Ff is the volumetric flow rate of liquid reaction composition to the flash separation zone (m3/s), RR is the reaction rate of the liquid reaction composition passed to the second reaction zone at the temperature at which it is withdrawn from the first reaction zone (mol/litre/hour), and Gp is the purity of the gas feed comprising carbon monoxide which is added to the second reaction zone expressed as the mass fraction of carbon monoxide in the gas feed.
摘要:
Process for the hydrolysis of a methyl acetate with at least one of water and methanol in the presence of at least one Brønsted acid catalyst to produce acetic acid. The process employs a methyl acetate feed in which the total amount of acetaldehyde and 1,1 dimethoxyethane impurities is maintained at 100 pm wt or less calculated as mass equivalents of acetaldehyde.
摘要:
A process for the co-production of acetic acid and dimethyl ether with reduced formic acid content by distilling a mixture comprising dimethyl ether, methanol and methyl formate; separating methyl formate from the mixture to recover dimethyl ether and methanol; and catalytically reacting the methanol and methyl acetate to produce a reaction product of acetic acid an dimethyl ether.
摘要:
Process for producing acetic acid and dimethyl ether by contacting a mixture of methanol and methyl acetate with a zeolite catalyst. The zeolite has a 2-dimensional channel system having at least one channel with a 10-membered ring and containing at least 5% of its cation exchange capacity occupied by one or more alkali metal cations.
摘要:
Process for the co-production of acetic acid and dimethyl ether products from a mixture of methanol and methyl acetate by contacting the mixture at a temperature from 200 to 260° C., with a catalyst composition containing a zeolite possessing a 2-dimensional channel system. The catalyst system contains at least one channel having a 10-membered ring and a silica:alumina molar ratio of at least 22:1.
摘要:
Method for the selective dealumination of the aluminum within the 12-membered ring channels of a zeolite of structure type MOR. The method includes the steps of (i) loading a MOR zeolite in the hydrogen or ammonium form with a univalent metal to obtain a metal loaded zeolite; and (ii) treating the metal loaded zeolite with steam at a temperature of at least 400° C. to obtain a metal loaded dealuminated zeolite.
摘要:
A catalyst and/or precatalyst for olefin oligomerization comprising one or more coordination complexes having one or more central palladium metal atoms. Each palladium atom is bonded to four ligand donor atoms. Two of the donor atoms are group 16 elements and two of the donor atoms are group 15 elements. Also provided are neutral or cationic coordination complex dimers, so that the two palladium atoms are both bonded to one or two donor atoms from group 16, and each palladium atom is bonded to two donor atoms from group 15. In some instances, each of the two group 16 donor atoms are oxygen and each of the four group 15 donor atoms are nitrogen.
摘要:
A process for the production of methyl acetate and/or acetic acid by contacting a carbon monoxide-containing gas and methanol and/or reactive derivatives thereof with a mordenite loaded with copper and silver loaded by ion-exchange and subsequently regenerating the catalyst.
摘要:
Process for preparing methyl acetate and/or acetic acid by contacting a carbonylatable reactant selected from dimethyl ether and methanol with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst is a H-mordenite bound with a mesoporous binder selected from silicas, aluminas, silica-aluminas, magnesium silicates and magnesium aluminum silicates.
