Acetic Acid and its Derivatives

Striking a balance between basic chemistry and chemical engineering, this up-to-date reference discusses important aspects of acetic acid and its major derivatives, including chemistry, methods of preparation and manufacture, and synthesis, as well as current and emerging downstream technologies.
The book provides comprehensive physical property data for compounds and their separation, including acetic acid-water separation. Describing five categories of techniques for the manufacture of acetic acid, it: examines thermophysical properties and aqueous solutions, with detailed explanations of mathematical models and correlations
supplies a critical analysis of property
outlines manufacturing costs and related economic factors
reviews the applications of acetic acid and derivatives
covers the chemistry and preparation of the derivatives
elucidates recent topics such as deicers, esters and new esterification technologies.
