This report revolves around the production of acetic acid using butane. Butane is oxidized using air as an oxygen source in the presence of metal catalysts such as cobalt acetate, at a temperature of 110–120 °C and a pressure of 60 atm. First, peroxides are produced in the reaction which further decompose to generate acetic acid. By-products include butanone, ethyl acetate, formic acid, and propionic acid. Although commercially valuable, the separation of these by-products from acetic acid adds to the cost of production.
