It seems that there isn’t much industrial production of this product in China. I only know that the acetic acid process is already in use; are there any other production methods in use as well?
There are also quite a number of plants that have started operating using the ethanol-ammonia method
There are already several units for the ammoniation of acetic acid in France, and the technology is quite mature
Friends on the 3rd and 4th floors, could you please provide details on which units have been put into operation and what is their production scale?
I’m afraid I can’t provide too much detail, as doing so would involve trade secrets. However, it seems that there are several companies in Shandong that are engaged in this production; you can find information about them online
In my opinion, the ammonia acetylation method requires a certain level of technical expertise, and it is indeed quite difficult to develop it on one’s own
