Abstract

See full text

A process for purifying vinyl acetate contaminated with acetic acid, coloration agents, water, and/or cations and anions. A first stage consists of removing acetic acid from a vinyl acetate feed by dehydrating a commercially-available anion exchange resin by means of azeotropic distillation and passing the feed through a bed of the dehydrated resin. A second stage can consist of removing coloration agents by passing the vinyl acetate feed through a bed of activated carbon. A third stage can consist of removing water by passing the vinyl acetate feed through a bed of desiccant. A fourth stage can consist of removing cations and anions by passing the vinyl acetate feed through separate cation exchange resin and anion exchange resin beds or through a mixed resin bed.
