  • Publication number: 20230312456
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vinyl acetate production process and device. By arranging a stabilizing process, an acetic acid recovery system and a desorption system and device, the composition of circulating gas is changed, the explosion range is narrowed, the volume fraction of maximum permissible oxygen at an inlet of a reactor is increased under the same production load and the same catalyst condition, the safety of the production process is improved, and the conversion per pass across the reaction is increased; and meanwhile, a material separation sequence is reasonably segmented according to an actual production condition. The present disclosure arranges a first gas separating tower which recovers surplus heat of reaction gas, reduces the energy consumption of the system, and therefore the energy consumption throughout the production flow process is reduced; the present disclosure further arranges the acetic acid recovery system.
