Abstract: A continuous preparative process, including monitoring production, for acetic acid, methyl acetate or a mixture thereof, by carbonylation, in an industrial installation, of methanol or a carbonylatable derivative of methanol with carbon monoxide in a liquid phase in the presence of water and a homogeneous catalyst system. In a reaction zone I, the carbonylation is carried out in the liquid phase at a temperature of 150 to 250° C., under a pressure of 5.10<5 >to 200.10<5 >Pa and with venting of part of a gaseous canopy above a liquid phase level in said reactor. Then, in a vaporization or flash zone II, a liquid originating from the zone I at a pressure below that of zone I is partially vaporized to form a liquid fraction which is recycled into the reactor, and in a purification zone III, a vaporized fraction originating from flash zone II is distilled on a distillation column. At an outlet of the column, the product is recovered, other constituents of the vaporized fraction being at least partially recycled into said reactor. In the process, the reactor temperature and feed rate of the methanol or carbonylatable derivative in said reactor are brought under control of the carbon monoxide feed rate and of at least one of the parameters defining the composition of the reaction medium, or of the venting or of both the reaction medium and of the venting.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de collecter des contaminants particulaires supprimés à l'aide d'un milieu de décontamination par projection de CO2 provenant d'une étape antérieure d'un procédé de décontamination. Ledit dispositif supprime les contaminants particulaires provenant d'un sujet contaminé à l'aide d'un flux de décontamination, et forme simultanément un autre flux afin de collecter lesdits contaminants dans un filtre de collecte, ce qui empêche la diffusion de ces contaminants dans l'atmosphère. Le dispositif forme des flux entre des buses et la surface du sujet contaminé afin de déplacer rapidement lesdites buses sur la surface du sujet sans résistance frictionnelle, et de réduire le sens de fatigue de l'opérateur. Le procédé et le dispositif sont caractérisés en ce que lorsque ledit dispositif est facilement combiné avec une unité de décontamination par projection de CO2 classique permettant de collecter des contaminants particulaires, la suppression des contaminants particulaires provenant du sujet contaminé et la collecte des contaminants particulaires contenus dans le flux de décontamination s'effectuent simultanément, et les gaz comprimés sont projetés par l'intermédiaire de buses de projection de rideau d'air, ce qui les empêche d'être diffusés dans l'atmosphère.
