PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ACETIC ACID AND DIEMTHYL ETHER

摘要

A process for the production of acetic acid and dimethyl ether by contacting a mixture of methanol and methyl acetate with a zeolite catalyst wherein the zeolite has a 2 dimensional channel system comprising at least one channel having a 10 membered ring and having at least 5% of its cation exchange capacity occupied by one or more alkali metal cations.
