Question

how acetic acid prepare from methanol

Answer 1

Production of acetic acid from CO and methanol, that is, methanol carbonylation, is a well-known reaction3. So there are two possible pathways of acetic acid synthesis from CO2, methanol and H2. The first is the CO pathway, that is, the CO2 was hydrogenated to CO, then acetic acid was formed by methanol carbonylation.May 11, 2016
