    摘要: An integrated process for the production of an alkenyl carboxylate, such as vinyl acetate which process comprises the steps of (a) contacting in an oxidation reaction zone a C2 to C4 alkane, such as ethane, a molecular oxygen-containing gas, optionally the corresponding alkene and optionally water, in the presence of a catalyst to produce a stream comprising alkene, carboxylic acid and water; (b) separating at least a portion of the stream from step (a) into a fraction comprising the alkene and a fraction comprising the carboxylic acid and water; (c) contacting in a second reaction zone at least a portion of said alkene fraction produced in step (b), a carboxylic acid and a molecular oxygen-containing gas, in the presence of a catalyst to produce a product stream comprising an alkenyl carboxylate, water and carboxylic acid; (d) separating at least a portion of the product stream from step (c) and at least a portion of the carboxylic acid and water fraction produced in step (b) by azeotropic distillation into an overhead fraction comprising the alkenyl carboxylate and a base fraction comprising the carboxylic acid; (e) recovering the alkenyl carboxylate from the overhead fraction separated in step (d).

    摘要: In a process for removing ethyl acetate from a process stream comprising vinyl acetate, acetic acid, water and an ethyl acetate impurity, by the steps of: (a) introducing the process stream to a distillation column, (b) distilling the process stream to obtain a vinyl acetate-containing fraction at an upper end of the distillation column and an acetic acid-containing fraction at a lower end of said distillation column, and (c) withdrawing, a side stream comprising the ethyl acetate from an intermediate region of the distillation column, it has been found that by withdrawing the side stream as a vapour, the concentration of ethyl acetate obtainable from the distillation column is higher than the concentration of ethyl acetate obtainable by withdrawing the side stream as a liquid and is greater than 10 % by weight of the side stream.
