    摘要: Provided is a method capable of industrially efficiently producing acetic acid yielding a good potassium permanganate test result, without costing much. In the acetic acid production method, (1) by-produced acetaldehyde is industrially advantageously removed from a process stream, and (2) a crotonaldehyde concentration in an acetic acid stream from a light ends column is controlled to a specific level or lower, and/or a reflux ratio at a second distillation column is controlled to 0.1 or more. In addition, (3) the method includes the step of subjecting at least one of an aqueous phase and an organic phase of a light ends column overhead condensate to distillation in a crotonaldehyde-removing column; the light ends column is operated at a reflux ratio of 2 or more (when the aqueous phase is refluxed); and the crotonaldehyde-removing column is operated so as to meet a specific condition(s).

    摘要: Provided are a method and an acetic acid production method, each of which can effectively restrain or prevent local corrosion of an inner wall of a process unit and/or line and can lower a formic acid concentration in an acetic acid product. The method produces acetic acid by a process including (1) a reaction step and (A) a separation step. In the reaction step (1), methanol is carbonylated with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalytic system, acetic acid, methyl acetate, and water, where the catalytic system includes a metal catalyst and methyl iodide. In the separation step (A), the reaction mixture resulting from the reaction step is separated, using at least one selected from evaporators and distillation columns, into a stream containing the catalyst, an acetic acid stream rich in acetic acid, and a stream rich in lower-boiling components as compared with the acetic acid stream. In this method, an oxygen concentration is controlled by at least one of (a) controlling the oxygen concentration in a gaseous phase in the process to less than 7 percent by volume, and (b) controlling the oxygen concentration in a liquid phase in the process to less than 7×10−5 g/g. In addition, a formic acid concentration in the liquid phase in the process is controlled to 500 ppm by mass or less. Thus, the formation of at least one of iodine and formic acid is restrained.

A light ends column (first distillation column) is operated with a reflux ratio at a specific level or more, a distillation column (crotonaldehyde-removing column) is provided for treating an organic phase of an overhead condensate from the light ends column, and the crotonaldehyde-removing column is operated under such conditions as to meet at least one of conditions (i) to (iii) as follows: (i) a reflux ratio at the distillation column is 0.01 or more; (ii) at the distillation column, the ratio of a crotonaldehyde concentration in a distillate to a crotonaldehyde concentration in a charge liquid is less than 1; and (iii) at the distillation column, the ratio of a crotonaldehyde concentration in bottoms to a crotonaldehyde concentration in the charge liquid is greater than 1. The crotonaldehyde concentration in an acetic acid stream (first acetic acid stream) resulting from light ends removal in the light ends column is controlled at a specific level or less, and/or the reflux ratio at a dehydration column (second distillation column) is controlled at a specific level or more, and at least one of the ratios CCR/CECR and CCR/CBA in at least one of the first acetic acid stream and an acetic acid-rich stream resulting from further purification of the first acetic acid stream is lowered, to give an acetic acid product that yields a better potassium permanganate test result.
