Abstract: A non-flammable ternary liquid cleaner is formulated from first, second and third solvents. The first solvent is a hydrofluorocarbon, the second solvent is a dichloroethylene and the third solvent is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon. The hydrochlorofluorocarbon imparts low flammability to the cleaner. The hydrofluorocarbon is present in a concentration of about 10 percent to about 80 percent by weight of the cleaner, the dichloroethylene is present in a concentration of about 10 percent to about 60 percent by weight of the cleaner and the hydrochlorofluorocarbon is present in a concentration of at about 10 percent to about 40 percent by weight of the cleaner. The third solvent is non-flammable and thus renders the ternary cleaner non-flammable.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système pour la production d'acide acétique par carbonylation catalytique de méthanol avec du monoxyde de carbone, donnant un flux de produit de réaction qui renferme de l'acide acétique et une quantité mineure d'acétaldéhyde. La teneur en acétaldéhyde du produit de réaction est réduite par oxydation, ce qui permet de convertir au moins une partie de l'acétaldehyde du flux en acide acétique ou bien en plus en CO2 et H2O. Ensuite, le flux oxydé peut être orienté vers l'étage de purification, l'étage de réaction, ou les deux à la fois, moyennant quoi on diminue les effets délétères de l'acétaldéhyde. L'avantage de cette technique sur les techniques classiques est que l'on diminue la nécessité d'éliminer l'acétaldéhyde comme déchet, avec une amélioration de l'efficacité globale du système dans la production d'acide acétique.
