AceticAcidProductionProcess(CTACETICATM)

TheCTACETICATMPROCESS,developedbyChiyodaCorporation,isaprocesstoproduceaceticacidby
carbonylationofmethanol.Withauniquelineoftechnologiesincludinghighperformanceresin
supportedrhodiumcatalystsandbubblecolumnloopreactors,TheCTACETICATMPROCESSstands
outfromothersimilarprocesses.

1.HighPerformanceResinSupportedRhodiumCatalyst

Rhodiumcomplexisusedasacatalystforthecarbonylationreactionofmethanol.Conventionally,
dissolvingtheRhcomplexinthereactorrequireslargequantitiesofwater.Consequently,theenergy
