Approval of the process of vinyl acetate synthesis from acetylene

The process of vinyl acetate synthesis was optimized based on the study of the kinetic laws of the acetylene acetylation reaction. Studies have shown that a cadmium acetate catalyst has less catalytic activity than a zinc acetate catalyst, but a catalyst consisting of a mixture of zinc acetate and cadmium acetate exhibits higher catalytic activity. As the concentration (amount) of cadmium acetate in the catalyst increases (17%), its catalytic activity increases and reaches a maximum, and then the catalytic activity decreases.
