    摘要: The disclosure is directed to a carbonylation process for producing acetic acid which includes separating a vapor product stream from a carbonylation reactor to produce a crude acid product comprising acetic acid comprising lithium cations and contacting the crude acetic acid product with a cationic exchanger in the acid form within a first treatment device to produce an intermediate acid product; and contacting the intermediate acetic acid product with a metal-exchanged ion exchange resin having acid cation exchange sites within a second treatment device to produce a purified acetic acid. Embodiments directed to a treatment device comprising a plurality of sampling ports having a first open flow path and a second flow path comprising a porous element are disclosed.

    摘要: Method of operating a heavy ends column in an acetic acid production unit having a reaction section, a light ends recovery section including a light ends distillation column, and a heavy ends column. A stream containing acetic acid and propionic acid obtained from the light ends recovery section is fed to the heavy ends column through a feed inlet positioned at an intermediate point in the heavy ends column. A product stream containing acetic acid is withdrawn from the heavy ends column through a sidedraw product outlet position above the feed inlet, and a product stream containing the propionic acid is withdrawn from the heavy ends column through a heavy product outlet positioned below the feed inlet. The pressure in the heavy ends column above the feed inlet is lower than the pressure of the stream containing acetic acid and propionic acid that is fed to the heavy ends column.

    摘要: A process for removing acetaldehyde efficiently and producing high-purity acetic acid stably is provided. Methanol is allowed to continuously react with carbon monoxide in a carbonylation reactor 1 in the presence of a catalyst system; the reaction mixture is continuously fed to a flasher 2 to form a volatile phase (2A) containing acetic acid and methyl iodide; the volatile phase (2A) is continuously fed to a splitter column 3 to form an overhead (3A) containing methyl iodide and acetaldehyde and a stream (3B) containing acetic acid; the volatile phase (2A) and/or the overhead (3A) is cooled by a first condenser C1, C3 at a predetermined cooling temperature; and the noncondensed gaseous component is further cooled by a second condenser C2, C4 to form a concentrate having a lower temperature and a higher acetaldehyde concentration. Acetaldehyde is efficiently removed by distilling the concentrate having a high acetaldehyde concentration.
