    Abstract: A continuous process for the simultaneous preparation of acetic acid and acetic anhydride from a starting mixture of methanol and methyl acetate and, if appropriate, dimethyl ether, by reaction with carbon monoxide under anhydrous conditions at temperatures from 150 to 250 DEG C and under increased pressure in a reaction zone using a dissolved catalyst system containing a nickel compound, methyl iodide as promoter, at least one co-promoter such as alkali metal iodide, quaternary phosphonium iodide or quaternary ammonium iodide, and a cocatalyst, is characterised in that the cocatalyst used is a rhodium or iridium compound in a molar ratio of nickel : cocatalyst of 1 : (0.005 to 0.1), a nickel concentration of 0.01 to 0.1, preferably 0.015 to 0.06 mol/l is established in the reaction zone, and is carried out under an increased pressure of 30 to 100 bar.

    Abstract: Process for the removal of aldehydes and acetals from industrially prepared acetic acid of the disclosure A process is specified for the removal of aldehydes and acetals from industrially prepared acetic acid, which comprises reacting the contaminated acetic acid in the presence of a Br?natedt acid and 0.05 to 1% by weight of water and, if required, of 3 to 10 equivalents, calculated on aldehyde and acetal, of a high-boiling polyhydric alcohol having the general structural member in which n is an integer from 0 to 3 and m is an integer greater than 3, at temperature of 50 to 118.degree.C for a period of 1 to 5 hours, and then isolating the pure acetic acid from the reaction product by fractional distillation.

    Abstract: A process is given for removing aldehydes and acetals from technical-grade acetic acid, which is characterised in that the acetic acid with its impurities is allowed to react in the presence of a Brönstedt acid and of 0.05 to 1 per cent by weight of water and, if appropriate, 3 to 10 equivalents, based on aldehyde and acetal, of a higher-boiling polyol with the general structural unit in which n represents an integer from 0 to 3 and m represents an integer greater than 3, at temperatures from 50 to 118 DEG C over a period of 1 to 5 hours and thereupon the pure acetic acid is obtained from the reaction product by fractional distillation.
