ABSTRACT:
A process for the production of vinyl acetate comprising contacting in a first reaction zone a gaseous feedstock comprising essentially ethane with a molecular oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst to produce a first product stream comprising acetic acid; contacting in a second reaction zone a gaseous feedstock comprising essentially ethane with a molecular oxygen-containing gas in the product stream comprising ethylene; contacting in a third reaction one the first gaseous product stream and the second gaseous product stream with a molecular oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst to produce a fourth product stream comprising vinyl acetate; separating the product stream from step (3) and recovering vinyl acetate from said product stream from step (3).
