2. Carbonylation of alcohols and derivatives
2.1 Carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid
The carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid is the most important carbonylation process (by volume). The first industrial process developed over 30 years ago by BASF used homogeneous cobalt catalysis and required the use of harsh conditions (200 ˚C and 700 bar pressure) . In 1971, Monsanto industrialized a low-pressure rhodium-catalyzed process, which has become the most widely used
