About Acetic Anhydride
About Acetic Anhydride. Acetic Anhydride (a.k.a. Ethanoic Anhydride, Acetyl Oxide, Acetic Oxide) is a colorless liquid with an odor that resembles acetic acid. Figuring among the most produced carboxylic acid anhydrides, Acetic Anhydride is a major organic intermediate with an important role in many chemical reactions, like acetylations, production of other acid anhydrides, hydrolysis to produce acetic acid and many others. It is widely used as a solvent for chemical analyses as well.
Acetic Anhydride Handling. Acetic Anhydride must be stored in tightly closed containers in a cool and well-ventilated area, and kept away from metals and moisture. Materials usually used for storage and transportation of pure Acetic Anhydride include aluminum, stainless steel, and polyethylene. Iron is also resistant to Acetic Anhydride in the absence of moisture. Shipment of Acetic Anhydride is typically made by tank cars, tank trucks, 210 L drums, ship tanks and barges.
Acetic Anhydride Production. Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Acetic Anhydride are listed below.
- Acetaldehyde + oxygen (liquid-phase oxidation process, coproduced with acetic acid),
- Methyl acetate/methanol + carbon monoxide (methyl acetate carbonylation processes, coproduced with acetic acid),
- Acetic acid + ketene (addition),
- Methanol + methyl acetate/carbon monoxide (methyl acetate carbonylation processes, coproduced with acetic acid),
- Methyl acetate + carbon monoxide (carbonylation)
Acetic Anhydride Uses. The uses and applications of Acetic Anhydride may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Acetic Anhydride are commercial grade (over 98% pure), which is the most marketed grade; and chemically pure (CP) grade with purities up to 99.7%.
