Problems solved by technology

In the first method, the corrosiveness of acetic acid makes the catalytic hydrogenation reactor have higher corrosion resistance, and the reaction catalyst is expensive, which makes the production cost high
Compared with the first method, the second method has one more step of esterification process. Although the corrosiveness of acetic acid to the reactor is reduced, the product ethanol is required to be recycled as the raw material for esterification, which increases the size of the reactor accordingly. Moreover, the energy consumption of catalytic hydrogenation is high
