On condensation, the heterogeneous azeotrope forms two phases; an organic layer containing almost pure n-butyl acetate and an aqueous layer phase containing almost pure water. The organic phase is recycled back to the column of dehydration, while the aqueous phase is fed to a column of stripping...
The composition and boiling point of the acetic acid-styrene azeotrope have been determined at different pressures. The results show an error in the composition published in the azeotrope tables compiled by H orsley.doi:10.1016/0009-2509(61)85008-2C.O. Haughton...
For example, during hydrogenation, esters are produced that together with ethanol and/or water form azeotropes, which are difficult to separate. In addition when conversion is incomplete, unreacted acetic acid remains in the caide ethanol product, which must be removed to recover ethanol. [0005]...

Acetic anhydride reacts violently on contact with water, steam, methanol, ethanol, glycerol and boric acid. Reaction with water is particularly dangerous in presence with mineral acids (e.g., nitric, perchloric, chromic, sulfuric acid) [Chem. Eng. News 25, 3458]. Potentially explosive reactions...
.boiling point elevation takes place. The lower boiling point component Acetic acid will be vaporized. The vapors generated are sent into the condenser and condensed. The condensed liquid is collected from the outlet of the condenser. In the residue, CaCl2- water mixture is collecte...
insoluble in water and capable of forming with water or with water and the ester entrainer, a heteroazeotrope of lower boiling point than the ester-water azeotrope, is applied to solutions rich in acetic ester, the same ester being used as a constituent of the mixed entrainer, and an amoun...

The required anhydrous acetic acid is withdrawn from the column as a liquid fraction. The water distils over in the form of azeotropes with the water-insoluble, higher boiling constituents (e.g. butyl acetate and 2-ethylbutene-2-al-1) of the mixture, and the condensate separates into two...
A method of real time process control in a reaction system for the production of acetic acid from the carbonylation of methanol. Reaction system samples are collected from columns and/or transfer line
