Abstract

The development of active and selective catalysts for the synthesis of vinyl acetate from ethylene and acetic acid, the effect of the amount and ratio of individual components of the catalyst to control the catalytic properties of the introduced components were studied. In vinyl acetate synthesis, the effects of each component were studied to describe the effect of catalyst constituents on its properties, and empirical one-factor mathematical dependencies were obtained. Their generalized mathematical relationships of the activities of the catalysts, defined as the rates of the reactions of the formation of vinyl acetate and CO2, have been proposed. As a result of the research, a mathematical model was proposed to select the most optimal composition of the catalyst. The activity of the catalyst containing 0.4%Pd+4%Cu+7%CH3COOK/HSZ averaged 700 g VA/(l×cat×h) at 93–97% selectivity of ethylene-vinyl acetate formation.
