    Acetaldehyde 16.05.2020.Pdf

    Acetaldehyde Acetaldehyde (systematic name ethanal) is an organic chemical compound with the formula CH3CHO, sometimes abbreviated by chemists as MeCHO (Me = methyl). It is one of the most important aldehydes, occurring widely in nature and being produced on a large scale in industry. Acetaldehyde occurs naturally in coffee, bread, and ripe fruit, and is produced by plants. It is also produced by the partial oxidation of ethanol by the liver enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase and is a contributing cause of hangover after alcohol consumption. Pathways of exposure include air, water, land, or groundwater, as well as drink and smoke. Consumption of disulfiram inhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, the enzyme responsible for the metabolism of acetaldehyde, thereby causing it to build up in the body. An aldehyde used as a starting material in the synthesis of 1-butanol (n-butyl alcohol), ethyl acetate, perfumes, flavourings, aniline dyes, plastics, synthetic rubber, and other chemical compounds. It has been manufactured by the hydration of acetylene and by the oxidation of ethanol (ethyl alcohol). Formula: C2H4O IUPAC ID: ethanal Boiling point: 20.2 °C Molar mass: 44.05 g/mol Density: 788 kg/m³ Melting point: -123.5 °C Preparation:- The main method of production is the oxidation of ethylene by the Wacker process, which involves oxidation of ethylene using a homogeneous palladium/copper system: 2 CH2=CH2 + O2 → 2 CH3CHO Smaller quantities can be prepared by the partial oxidation of ethanol in an exothermic reaction. This process typically is conducted over a silver catalyst at about 500–650 °C. 1 CH3CH2OH + ⁄2 O2 → CH3CHO + H2O This method is one of the oldest routes for the industrial preparation of acetaldehyde.

William Verity, Secretary NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS, Ernest Ambler, Director , ABSTRACT The working fluid for externally-mounted, space-based two-phase heat transport systems is considered. A sequence of screening criteria involving freezing and critical point temperatures and latent heat of vaporization and vapor density are applied to a data base of 860 fluids. The thermal performance of the 52 fluids which pass this preliminary screening are then ranked according to their impact on the weight of a reference system. Upon considering other non-thermal criteria ( f lagimability toxicity and chemical stability) a final set of 10 preferred fluids is obtained. The effects of variations in system parameters is investigated for these 10 fluids by means of a factorial design. i * . I . INTRODUCTION In order to remove the heat generated by electronics and other payloads on spacecraft some type of heat transport system is required. The heat generating equipment is typically attached to a 'cold plate'.

    87 4. Production, Import, Use, and Disposal 4.1 Production

    87 4. PRODUCTION, IMPORT, USE, AND DISPOSAL 4.1 PRODUCTION It is not known whether vinyl acetate occurs naturally (IARC 1986). Vinyl acetate is a man-made compound that was first produced in 1912 as a by product in the synthesis of ethylidene diacetate (Matthews 1974). This reaction involved bubbling acetylene through a mixture of mercurous sulfate and anhydrous acetic acid (Leonard 1970). During the 1920s, the Germans converted this liquid-phase process to a vapor phase process that allowed Germany to achieve a production volume of 12 million kg per year by the 1940s and which accounted for most of the world's production of vinyl acetate until about 1970 (Leonard 1970; Rhum 1970). The vapor phase process involved passing a 4:l acetylene-to-acetic acid mixture over a catalyst bed made of zinc acetate-saturated activated carbon at 180°-200°C. (Daniels 1983; Llewellyn and Williams 1972). Mercury salts can also be used as a catalyst in this reaction when it is conducted at 40°-50°C (International Labour Office 1985). Originally, acetylene was generated from calcium carbide (Leonard 1970). More recently, acetylene has been produced by cracking petroleum (Llewellyn and Williams 1972). Currently, the manufacturing process most widely used to produce vinyl acetate is the vapor phase ethylene process, an oxidative reaction in which ethylene is bubbled through acetic acid at 120°C in the presence of palladium chloride catalyst (Daniels 1983; IAKC 1986). Impurities found in the reaction have been reported at less than 1% (for one manufacturer) and have included the following: acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, and methyl acetate.
  • Synthesis of Vinyl Acetate Monomer from Synthesis Gas

    Synthesis of Vinyl Acetate Monomer from Synthesis Gas

    SYNTHESIS OF VINYL ACETATE MONOMER FROM SYNTHESIS GAS GERALD C. TUSTIN, RICHARD D. COLBERG AND JOSEPH R. ZOELLER EASTMAN CHEMICAL COMPANY RESEARCH LABORATORIES, P.O. BOX 1972 KINGSPORT, TN 37662-5150 1. Introduction The overall objective of this project is to develop a commercially viable process for the generation of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) based entirely upon coal-generated syngas. Previous attempts at this objective have generally involved the combination of acetic anhydride (generated by carbonylation of either methyl acetate or dimethyl ether) with acetaldehyde (generated by either hydrogenation of acetic anhydride or hydrocarbonylation of either methanol or a methyl ester) to generate ethylidene diacetate (EDA) which is subsequently cracked to form VAM in a separate step. An exemplary process is shown below. 2CO + 4H2à 2MeOH 2MeOH + 2AcOH à 2AcOMe + 2H2O AcOMe + CO + H2 à AcH + AcOH AcOMe + CO à Ac2O Ac2O + AcH à EDA EDA à VAM + AcOH MeOH = methanol AcOH = acetic acid Ac2O = acetic anhydride AcH = acetaldehyde AcOMe = methyl acetate These efforts have failed to generate a commercially viable process to date. One of the key reasons for this failure is the very large quantities of recycled acetic acid (and consequently large commercial facilities) inherent in the earlier proposed processes. A specific objective of our work is to develop a syngas based process for the production of VAM that avoids the costly recycle of acetic acid to a carbonylation reactor. Although a number of approaches are possible, many of these have been eliminated on thermodynamic grounds or upon the basis of the number of steps involved. We believed that a very important reaction required for the production of VAM was the hydrogenation of acetic acid to acetaldehyde, and, if this could be accomplished, the problem of recycle of acetic acid to the carbonlyation reactor could be solved: HOAc + H2 à HAc + H2O.

    Vinyl Acetate

    VINYL ACETATE This substance was considered by previous Working Groups, in February 1978, in June 1985 and in March 1987 (IARC, 1979, 1986, 1987a). Since that time, new data have become available and these have been incorporated into the monograph and taken into consideration in the present evaluation. 1.
