AceticAcidProductionProcess(CTACETICATM)
TheCTACETICATMPROCESS,developedbyChiyodaCorporation,isaprocesstoproduceaceticacidby
carbonylationofmethanol.Withauniquelineoftechnologiesincludinghighperformanceresin
supportedrhodiumcatalystsandbubblecolumnloopreactors,TheCTACETICATMPROCESSstands
outfromothersimilarprocesses.
1.HighPerformanceResinSupportedRhodiumCatalyst
Rhodiumcomplexisusedasacatalystforthecarbonylationreactionofmethanol.Conventionally,
dissolvingtheRhcomplexinthereactorrequireslargequantitiesofwater.Consequently,theenergy
requirementforseparationofwaterfromAceticacidproductalsogoesup.Toovercomethoseproblems,
