For procurement managers, understanding the raw materials and production routes behind acetic acid is essential-not only for cost control, but also for quality consistency and supply reliability.
How Acetic Acid (GAA, CAS 64-19-7) Is Made?
Acetic Acid (GAA CAS 64-19-7), also known as Glacial Acetic Acid, is an important organic chemical raw material that has a wide range of applications in the production of many chemicals.There are several main methods of manufacturing GAA:
Ethanol Oxidation
Ethanol oxidation is the main method of industrial production of Acetic Acid (GAA), which is based on the oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid in the presence of a catalyst. The method usually uses silver or copper as the catalyst and air or oxygen as the oxidizing agent. Temperature and pressure need to be controlled during the reaction to ensure that the reaction proceeds and the products are selective. The ethanol oxidation method has the advantages of easy availability of raw materials, simple operation and high purity of products, so it is widely used in industrial production.
Acetaldehyde Oxidation
Acetaldehyde oxidation is a traditional method of Acetic Acid (GAA) manufacturing, which is based on oxidizing acetaldehyde to acetic acid in the presence of a catalyst. The method usually uses copper acetate or manganese acetate as catalyst and air or oxygen as oxidizing agent. Temperature and pH need to be controlled during the reaction to ensure that the reaction proceeds and the products are selective. The advantage of the acetaldehyde oxidation method is that it can utilize acetaldehyde as a feedstock, but the catalyst is less active and needs to be replaced periodically, so the production cost is higher.
Low Carbon Hydrocarbon Oxidation
Low Carbon Hydrocarbon Oxidation is a novel method of Acetic Acid (GAA) manufacturing based on the oxidation of low carbon hydrocarbons (e.g. methane, ethane, etc.) to acetic acid in the presence of a catalyst. The method usually uses precious metals such as platinum and palladium as catalysts and oxygen as oxidizing agent. The reaction temperature and pressure need to be controlled during the reaction to ensure that the reaction proceeds and the products are selective. The advantage of the low-carbon hydrocarbon oxidation method is that it can utilize cheap and readily available low-carbon hydrocarbons as raw materials, but the preparation and regeneration of the catalyst is more difficult, so it has not yet been widely used.
