FIELD: production acetic acid by ethane oxidation.
SUBSTANCE: claimed method includes ethane oxidation with molecular oxygen in reactor with at least one fluidized bed of catalyst particles wherein at least 70 % of used particles have diameter 80 mum or less and density of catalyst particles is 500-6000 kg/m3. Gas stream is fed in such a manner that bulb diameter of reaction gas mixture in reactor will be less than 12 cm. Process is carried out at preferable temperature of 100-5000C and pressure of 1-50 bar. Inert gas, carbon dioxide and/ore water steam may be added in addition to ethane and molecular oxygen in reaction mixture.
EFFECT: improved high exothermic oxidation process; high yield of finished product.
