METHOD OF PRODUCING ETHYL ACETATE

摘要

FIELD: chemistry. ^ SUBSTANCE: catalyst further contains chromium oxide in amount of 5.0-20.0 wt % of the total amount of catalyst. Ethanol with water content of up to 15 wt % is used in the process. Use of the method enables to increase ethanol conversion to 58%, ethyl acetate selectivity to 95%, and use ethanol with water concentration of up to 15 wt %. ^ EFFECT: method does not require feeding an additional amount of hydrogen into the process. ^ 2 cl, 10 ex, 1 tbl
