Embodiment 1

[0079] The distillation is carried out with the stream from the PVOH process. In the laboratory, an Oldershaw column with 40 trays was used. A stream of mother liquor containing 0.24 wt% solids was fed near the middle of the column, while a stream of aqueous methanol containing 0.13 wt% solids was fed about one-third from the bottom of the column. The temperatures at the top and bottom of the column in atmospheric distillation are 68°C and 100°C, respectively. The feed rate of the mother liquor was 13.7 g / min, and the feed rate of the aqueous methanol solution was 11.5 g / min. The reflux ratio was maintained at about 0.23. No foaming or major fouling problems in the reboiler were observed during the distillation. Dark brown / black staining or fouling was observed around plate 15 to the bottom of the column. However, this slight fouling does not plug the small plate holes or downcomers of the Aldershaw column. The tray above the mother liquor feed is clean.

[0087] Example 2 (estimation)

[0088] This example describes the hydrogenolysis of methyl acetate as reported in paragraph [0064] of US Patent Publication 2009 / 0326080. The methyl acetate was kept as a liquid at 20°C and was pumped at a pressure of 10-50 atm through a heat exchanger which completely vaporized it at a temperature of 150°C-225°C. Hydrogen preheated at the same temperature is added to the steam as it leaves the heat exchanger. h 2 The molar ratio to methyl acetate is 5-10. The hot mixture is blown through a catalyst bed comprising CuO / copper chromite, CuO / ZnO / Al 2 o 3 , or CuO / ZnO / activated carbon catalyst and an inert solid acting as catalyst diluent. Before adding any acetate, by adding H 2 and N 2 The mixture reduces CuO to Cu. This reduces CuO to the active form Cu in the hydrogenolysis reaction. Reduction is carried out until no more water is produced. By adding H in the gas mixture 2 The concentration was kept at a level not exceeding 5 vol%, ...

Embodiment 3

[0090] This example also describes the hydrogenolysis of methyl acetate. exist Six runs were performed in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The same amount of 40 mL of copper-zinc oxide on alumina support was used in all 6 experiments, namely (Süd Chemie). The first 4 runs were run at ~360-375 psig, while the last 2 runs were run at a higher pressure of 625 psig. At 360 psig, test two reactions at 250°C, then two at 275°C; one temperature at 250°C at 625 psig. Methyl acetate LHSV at 0.85hr in all 6 trials -1 with 1.25hr -1 Alternate between, H 2 The ratio to methyl acetate remains constant at about 14:1 H 2 molar ratio to methyl acetate.

[0091] Table 2 provides the reaction conditions and results for the six methyl acetate trials. Table 3 provides an overview of the product composition for Experiment 2.

[0092] In Table 2, methyl acetate conversion, methanol selectivity, ethanol selectivity and ethanol yield were calculated.

Abstract

Ethanol is produced from methyl acetate by a hydrogenolysis reaction of methyl acetate. The methyl acetate is produced as a byproduct during the conversion of a vinyl acetate polymer or copolymer to a polymer or copolymer of vinyl alcohol. By integrating the two processes, a valuable product, i.e. ethanol, is produced from a methyl acetate byproduct.

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application 13 / 205,114, filed November 28, 2011, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. field of invention [0003] The present invention relates generally to a process for the production of ethanol, and more particularly to a process for the production of ethanol from methyl acetate produced during the conversion of vinyl acetate polymers or copolymers to vinyl alcohol polymers or copolymers. Background of the invention [0004] Ethanol for industrial use is conventionally produced from petrochemical feedstocks such as petroleum, natural gas or coal, from feedstock intermediates such as synthesis gas, or from starchy or cellulosic materials such as corn or sugar cane. Conventional methods for the production of ethanol from petrochemical feedstocks as well as from cellulosic materials include acid-catalyzed hydration of ethylene, methanol homologation, direct alcohol synt...
