CARBONYLATION PROCESS CATALYSED BY MORDENITE SUPPORTED ON INORGANIC OXIDES

摘要

A process for the preparation of methyl acetate and/or acetic acid product which process comprises contacting a carbonylatable reactant selected from dimethyl ether and methanol with carbon monoxide and optionally hydrogen, in the presence of a catalyst and wherein the catalyst is a mordenite in the acid form that is bound with a mesoporous inorganic oxide.
