CATALYST AND METHOD OF PRODUCING VINYL ACETATE FROM ACETIC ACID AND ACETYLENE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B01J31/04 B01J23/06 B01J21/18 B01J35/08 B01J35/04 B82B1/00 C07C69/15 C07C67/04 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to chemical catalysts for synthesis of vinyl acetate. Described is a catalyst for synthesis of vinyl acetate from acetic acid and acetylene, which contains zinc acetate and a support, wherein the support is Sibunit carbon consisting of microspherical nanoporous particles with size of 200-500 mcm. Described is a method of producing vinyl acetate from acetic acid and acetylene in the presence of the catalyst described above, characterised by that the method is realised at temperature 170-220°C, volume flow rate of acetylene of 0.54-0.84 l/cm³ (cat)·h, mass flow rate of acetic acid of 0.3-0.5 g/cm³ (cat)·h.

EFFECT: described is a catalyst characterised by high mechanical strength and catalytic activity and long service life.
