Methanol to Acetic Acid¤

Introduction¤

Methanol carbonylation is a chemical reaction to produce acetic acid from methanol and a gaseous feed (CO). There are different processes to produce acetic acid depending on the used catalyst. For instance, the BP process uses a irridium catalyst while the Celanese process uses a rhodium catalyst.
