Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Acetic Acid production from methanol and carbon monoxide. The process examined is a typical carbonylation process. In this process, the carbonylation is promoted by an iodide rhodium liquid catalyst. The liquid product is sent to a set of distillation columns to recover the Acetic Acid. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Acetic Acid", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition (2) US Patent 6458996, issued to BP Chemicals in 2002 Keywords: Ethanoic Acid, Monsanto, Iodomethane
