Last Updated: January, 2025
The following report deals with the economics of the production of acetic acid via carbonylation of methanol using carbon monoxide as a source of carbonyl group. When catalysed by rhodium, the process is known as Monsanto process. When catalysed by iridium, it is known as Cativa process which is quite green and highly efficient. A catalytic amount of water is used in both processes. The largest manufacturer of acetic acid in India, Gujrat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemicals use this method for production.
