In this chapter, we have reviewed the most recent developments in acetic acid production and applications over past two decades, including process intensification and catalysis by keeping the main emphasis on process sustainability.
Acetic acid production is a two step process, which involves chemical modification of the substrate added to the bioreactor by the two different microorganisms. In this content, definition, production process, recovery and biosynthesis of acetic acid production are explained.
Direct, one-pot production of acetic acid from biogas feedstock. This is a cutting-edge approach to generate acetic acid in one single step. The direct transformation of CO 2 and CH 4 into acetic acid is a 100% atom-efficient process that is thermodynamically unfavourable at ambient conditions.
From a biological point of view, acetic acid can be produced by acetogenesis using inorganic substrates like CO 2 or CO (with acetogenic bacteria) and aerobic fermentation (with acetic acid bacteria or fungi).
At present, industrial processes for the production of acetic acid are dominated by methanol carbonylation and the oxidation of hydrocarbons such as acetaldehyde, ethylene, n -butane, and naphtha.
Acetic acid is an important bulk chemical 1, 2 that is currently produced via methanol carbonylation (CH 3 OH+CO→CH 3 COOH), such as Monsanto process 3. CO 2 is a greenhouse gas 4...
The 1980–2015 literature has been critically reviewed to examine how acetic acid manufacturing practice has progressed over these 35 years and whether this important organic acid manufacturing sector is on the right track to ensure sustainable business.
Acetic acid is the second simplest carboxylic acid (after formic acid). It is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical across various fields, used primarily in the production of cellulose acetate for photographic film, polyvinyl acetate for wood glue, and synthetic fibres and fabrics.
one- and two-step procedures for methane conversion to acetic acid. direct synthesis of acetic acid from methane and carbon dioxide. Recent achievements in the development of new methods for producing acetic acid (AA) from methane using heterogeneous catalysts are summarized and systemat.
Most production of acetic acid from dilute sugar solutions is carried out by the two-step vinegar process, using the submerged reactor technology; however, during this decade, a one-step microbial fermentation of sugar to acetic acid production has been under development (Cheryan et al. 1997).
