1.2 GLOBALSCENARIO:-
PROPERTIES
2.1 PHYSICALPROPERTIES:-
Dielectric constant
Solid : 6.710 at 20.00C
Liquid: 6.710 at 20.00C
Many useful materials are made from acetic acid. Acetate esters are
formed by reaction of olefins or alcohols with acetic acid. Acetic acid
is also used in the preparation of pharmaceuticals.Aspirin
(acetylsalicylic acid) is formed by the reaction between acetic acid
and salicylic acid.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Reaction:
CH3CHO+0.5O2--->CH3COOH
Description:
The products from the reactor are then sent to the cooler unit where
the products are cooled. Then acetic acid is separated from unreacted
acetaldehyde and air component using complex column
based on the volatility of the compounds. The product acetic acid is
obtained from bottom stream of the complex column. The unreacted
stream obtained from complex column is sent to a heater
to vaporize for better absorption of acetaldehyde in absorption column
to separate nitrogen gas from the unreacted part to minimise the
nitrogen content in recycle stream. Water is used as
an absorbent which is separated using a complex column from
unreacted acetaldehyde and recycle back and some make-up water is
added with recycle stream and cooled using a cooler for better
absorption of acetaldehyde. Top product form complex column is
heated to make the top effluent at room temperature. The stream,
contained acetaldehyde and oxygen, is sent to a mixer through a
recycle block to increase the overall yield.

4.2 LIMITATIONS:
Acetic acid can be a hazardous chemical if not used in a safe
and appropriate manner.
This liquid is highly corrosive to the skin and eyes and,
because of this, must be handled with extreme care.
Acetic acid can also be damaging to the internal organs if
ingested or in the case of vapor inhalation.
Concentrated acetic acid is corrosive to skin. These burns or
blisters may not appear until hours after exposure.
Prolonged inhalation exposure (eight hours) to acetic acid
vapours at 10 ppm can produce some irritation of eyes, nose,
and throat; at 100 ppm marked lung irritation and possible
damage to lungs, eyes, and skin may result.
Vapour concentrations of 1,000 ppm cause marked irritation
of eyes, nose and upper respiratory tract and cannot be
tolerated. These predictions were based on animal
experiments and industrial exposure.
