Technical Document

Brief Overview
Glacial Acetic Acid is a critical industrial organic acid characterized by its high purity and exceptional chemical reactivity. As a fundamental carboxylic acid, this technical-grade chemical plays a pivotal role in numerous industrial synthesis processes
Manufacturing Process
Glacial acetic acid is manufactured naturally when excreted by certain bacteria like Clostridium acetobutylicum and Acetobacter genus.
he process of manufacturing glacial acetic acid by a single stage distillation process which comprises heating a water solution containing approximately 90% of acetic acid with approximately 20% of its volume of benzol, condensing the evolved vapors therefrom, separating water from the condensate so obtained to recover the benzol therefrom and returning the benzol to the acetic acid solution.
