THE UNITED METHOD FOR PRODUCING METHYL ACETATE AND METHANOL FROM SYNTHESIS GAS AND DIMETHYL ETHER

摘要

Integrated process for the production of methyl acetate and methanol by carbonylating dimethyl ether with synthesis gas, recovering a methyl acetate stream and an unreached synthesis gas stream containing methyl acetate, and scrubbing the synthesis gas to remove methyl acetate. The scrubbed synthesis gas is passed for methanol synthesis.
