A fluid bed process for the manufacture of vinyl acetate from ethylene, acetic acid and oxygen comprising feeding ethylene and acetic acid into a fluid bed reactor through a first inlet, introducing the oxygen into the reactor through a second inlet, co-joining the oxygen, ethylene and acetic acid in the reactor in contact with a fluid bed catalyst to produce vinyl acetate. The particle size diameter of the particulate catalyst material has a range of 60% of the particles being below 200 microns (0.1 mm) with no more than 40% of the particles being below 40 microns (0.04 mm).

Disclosed is a process for oxidizing ethane to acetic acid which comprises feeding ethane and a recycle gas to a fluidized bed reaction zone containing fluidized particulate solid oxidation catalyst, feeding a molecular oxygen-containing gas separately from said ethane to said reaction zone so that said molecular oxygen-containing gas first mixes with the major portion of the combustible hydrocarbon feed gases within the fluidized bed, said process including the steps of (1) cooling the gaseous effluent from the reaction zone, (2) separating most of the acetic acid in liquid form from the effluent gases, leaving a gaseous stream containing nearly all of the carbon oxides contained in said effluent, (3) purging a small portion of said gaseous stream and recycling most of said gaseous stream as part of the feed to said reaction zone,

A weighted water bag for forming levees or dikes, in order to hold back rising flood water, the bag being woven of fiber and including a waterproof or sand inner liner; rings and clips at corners allowing bags to be locked together, a water filler opening at one end, and fiber handles for each side of the opening for easy handling, including forms having portions of the bag filled with sand.

The separation of acrylic acid from a mixture of acrylic acid and acetic acid found in the reaction product stream obtained in the process of producing acrylic acid by the oxidation of propylene or acrolein is improved by removing a vapor sidestream from the solvent recovery column found in the process. Acetic acid is then separated from this stream without the addition of external heat.
