Production of Acetic Acid through Cryogenic Separation of Syngas
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18813135 titled 'Production of Acetic Acid through Cryogenic Separation of Syngas
Original Abstract Submitted
A system and method for producing acetic acid, including dry reforming methane with carbon dioxide to give syngas, cryogenically separating carbon monoxide from the syngas giving a first stream including primarily carbon monoxide and a second stream including carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The method includes synthesizing methanol from the second stream via hydrogenation of carbon monoxide in the second stream, synthesizing dimethyl ether from the methanol, and generating acetic acid from the dimethyl ether and first-stream carbon monoxide.
