Vinyl acetate -preparation

There are several different raw materials such as acetylene method, ethylene method, acetaldehyde acetic anhydride and so on. Ethylene raw material route according to different processes and ethylene gas phase method, ethylene liquid phase method and other different methods.

The acetylene method uses zinc acetate on activated carbon as catalyst, and acetylene reacts with acetic acid at normal pressure and 170~230 ℃. The reaction products were separated by powder, gas, aldehyde removal, crude distillation and rectification to obtain refined vinyl acetate.
Ethylene gas phase method ethylene, oxygen and acetic acid in palladium-gold (or platinum) catalyst, at 160~180 ℃,<lMPa pressure under gas phase reaction to generate vinyl acetate, and then separated, distilled to fine.
Ethylene liquid phase method ethylene, acetic acid with palladium chloride copper chloride as catalyst reaction of vinyl acetate.
Acetaldehyde acetic anhydride method to acetaldehyde acetic anhydride as raw material, the first synthesis of ethylene two acetic acid, and then by deacetic acid reaction, by one-step or two-step synthesis.

Vinyl acetate -Application

1, mainly used for the manufacture of synthetic fiber vinylon raw materials, but also EVA and other copolymer resin components.

Uses:
Vinyl acetate is commonly used as a solvent for coatings, inks, adhesives and cleaners.
-Chemical synthesis: as ethylene monomer is an important raw material, vinyl acetate can be used for the synthesis of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol ether and other chemicals.

Preparation method:
the vinyl acetate can be prepared by ethanol and acetic acid esterification reaction, reaction usually need to use acidic catalyst such as sulfuric acid.
