The bulk chemicals esters contribute to commo dity chemicals in nearly unlimited variety
Methyl acetate is used for the production of coatings, nitro-cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose ethers and celluloid, as well as for a variety of resins, plasticizers, lacquers and certain fats.[2]
Besides the synthesis of methyl acetate, this esterification reaction may potentially be applied in the recovery of dilute acetic acid from aqueous solutions.[3,4]
Summary
The bulk chemicals esters contribute to commo dity chemicals in nearly unlimited variety. Common fields of application include their use as solvents, plasticizers, surfactants, flavours, interm ediates in preparative organic chemistry, and many more.[1] Though well investigated, the technology of ester production offers some challenging characteristics regarding catalysis, operation conditions and downstream processing. The synthesis of methyl acetate (MeOAc) via liquid-phase esterification of acetic acid (HOAc) and methanol (MeOH) is a prominent example thereof. Methyl acetate is used for the production of coatings, nitro-cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose ethers and celluloid, as well as for a variety of resins, plasticizers, lacquers and certain fats.[2] Besides the synthesis of methyl acetate, this esterification reaction may potentially be applied in the recovery of dilute acetic acid from aqueous solutions.[3,4]
