Embodiment

[0055] Catalyst 1

[0056] In preparing the catalyst, 579 milligrams (mg) of hexachloroplatinic acid having a Pt assay of 39.23% (1.17 mmol Pt) was dissolved in 30 milliliters (mL) of distilled water. This solution was then added to 20.0 grams of 12 x 40 mesh activated carbon pellets (available from Calgon) packed in an evaporating dish. The BET surface area of ​​activated carbon granules exceeds 800m 2 / g. The mixture is dried using a steam bath with continuous stirring until the carrier granules become free flowing. The impregnated catalyst was then transferred to a quartz tube measuring 106 cm long x 25 mm outer diameter. The quartz tube was then placed in a three-element electric tube furnace with the mixture in the approximate center of the furnace's 61 cm long heating zone. Nitrogen was continuously flowed through the catalyst bed at a rate of 100 sccm / min. The tube was heated from room temperature to 300°C over 2 hours, held at 300°C for 2 hours and then cooled bac...

Embodiment II

[0060] The second catalyst was prepared by dissolving 0.331 g of ammonium tungstate (1.17 mmol) in 30 mL of distilled water heated to 50° C. to completely dissolve the ammonium tungstate. This solution was then added to 20.0 grams of 12 x 40 mesh activated carbon pellets (available from Calgon) packed in an evaporating dish. The BET surface area of ​​activated carbon granules exceeds 800m 2 / g. The mixture was then dried as described above in Example 1 and placed in a quartz tube.

[0061] A second solution was prepared by dissolving 0.207 grams of palladium chloride (1.16 mmol of Pd) in 15 mL of distilled water and 15 mL of 11.6M HCl. It was subsequently added to the tungsten impregnated catalyst prepared above. The mixture was reheated with continuous stirring using a steam bath until the granules became free flowing and then transferred to a quartz tube as described above.

[0062] The solid supported catalyst according to the invention (Catalyst 2) has a density of 0.5...

Embodiment 1

[0089] The compositions and weights of samples taken periodically during the above procedure in which Catalyst 1 was used are given in Table 1, where "time" is the total time in hours of the carbonylation operation from the start of methanol addition until the time a particular sample was taken . The values ​​given below for "MeI" (methyl iodide), "MeOAc" (methyl acetate), "MeOH" (methanol) and "HOAc" (acetic acid) are weight percents of each compound present in the samples. The weight of each sample is given in grams.

Abstract

A vapor-phase carbonylation method for producing esters and carboxylic acids from reactants comprising lower alkyl alcohols, lower alkyl alcohol generating compounds, and mixtures thereof. The method includes contacting the reactants and carbon monoxide in a carbonylation zone of a carbonylation reactor under vapor-phase carbonylation conditions with a catalyst having a catalytically effective amount of a Group VIII metal selected from platinum or palladium, and tungsten which are associated with a solid catalyst support material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vapor phase carbonylation process for the production of esters and carboxylic acids from reactants comprising lower alkyl alcohols, lower alkyl alcohol producing compositions, and mixtures thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a vapor phase carbonylation of methanol and / or a methanol producing source to produce acetic acid, methyl acetate and mixtures thereof using a catalyst having a catalytically effective amount of a Group VIII metal selected from platinum or palladium and tungsten A method wherein a metal is bonded to a solid support material. Background technique [0002] Lower carboxylic acids and esters such as acetic acid and methyl acetate have been known as chemical raw materials for many years. Acetic acid is used in the manufacture of various intermediate and final products. For example, an important derivative is vinyl acetate, which can be used as a monomer or comonomer for vario...
