Abstract
A system and method for removing acetaldehyde from an acetic acid system, including providing a solution from the acetic acid system, the stream having methyl iodide and acetaldehyde, distilling the solution to produce an overhead stream having a higher concentration of acetaldehyde, contacting the overhead stream, and optionally a hydroxyl compound, with an acid catalyst to convert the acetaldehyde to an aldehyde derivative having a higher boiling point than acetaldehyde.
