  • Catalytic performance in processes for preparing acetic acid
    Patent number: 10501398
    Abstract: In processes 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 performance of the catalyst is improved by using a methyl acetate feed in which the total amount of acetaldehyde and 1,1 dimethoxyethane impurities is maintained at 100 ppm wt or less calculated as mass equivalents of acetaldehyde.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 11, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 10, 2019
    Assignee: BP Chemicals Limited
    Inventors: Berian John Daniel, John Glenn Sunley, Russell Alan Taylor, Gareth Gerald Armitage

  • Catalytic performance in processes for preparing acetic acid
    Patent number: 10183906
    Abstract: 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.
