Organic solvent glacial Acetic Acid is a colorless liquid with a pungent sour taste. Pure acetic acid can be combined into an ice-like solid below 16.6 °C. It is easily soluble in water and many organic solvents, and has strong corrosiveness. Its aqueous solution is weakly acidic. , can react with many active metals, alkaline oxides, alkalis, etc. to form acetate. Certain acetates such as manganese acetate and aluminum acetate can be used as mordants in the dyeing industry.

There are many methods for producing Organic solvent glacial Acetic Acid, the common ones are fermentation method and synthetic method. The fermentation method is to use the light wine liquid (containing 3-6% ethanol) obtained by starch fermentation. Under the action of the vinegar mother bacteria, fermentation is carried out at about 35 ° C, and the light wine liquid is oxidized into vinegar by air. In addition to 3-6% acetic acid, vinegar also contains other organic acids, esters and proteins. Fermentation is mainly used to make edible vinegar.

Synthesis is the main method for industrial production of Organic solvent glacial Acetic Acid. The acetaldehyde oxidation method uses acetaldehyde as the raw material, using oxygen or air as the oxidant, at 50-80 ° C, 0.6-1.0 MPa and the presence of manganese acetate catalyst, liquid phase oxidation is carried out in a bubble column reactor. The low-pressure carbonylation of methanol, also known as the Monsanto method, uses a catalyst system composed of rhodium carbonyl compounds and iodides to react methanol and carbon monoxide in a water-acetic acid medium at about 175 °C and 3.0 MPa to generate acetic acid. Due to the high activity and selectivity of the catalyst, there are few side reactions.
