Detailed Product Description

It should be noted that in spite of the cheapness and accessibility of the ethane fraction it is not used as crude product for obtaining the formic and acetic acids. It is connected with the fact that the ethane is oxidized at higher temperature than the butane of higher hydrocarbons and in the ethane oxidation the carbon acids themselves decompose and oxidize. That is why the formic and acetic acids are not obtained at the usual method of the ethane fraction oxidation.
We offer a new method of the hydrocarbons oxidation which greatly differs from the existing methods. This method consists in by-stage oxidatation of the hydrocarbons with different technological conditions at each stage. A new technological circuit of the formic and acetic acids obtaining from the ethane fraction has been developed, this circuit consists of a reaction unit and purification stage and the carbon acids separation.
