The method of acetic acid to ethanol
There is a technique at present, to convert acetic acid into ethanol. Acetic acid is volatile, while ethanol is an alcohol, warm and flammable.

To convert acetic acid to ethanol, it is necessary to use the power of a catalyst according to chemical principles. Suitable metal catalysts, such as copper and zinc, can be selected. In a specific reaction device, set the appropriate temperature and pressure. When acetic acid is introduced into the device, the catalyst plays a role in it, promoting the rearrangement and transformation of the molecular structure of acetic acid.

During the reaction, the carboxyl group of acetic acid undergoes a series of chemical changes, gradually losing oxygen atoms, obtaining hydrogen atoms, and finally forming the structure of ethanol. This process requires precise temperature control. If the temperature is too high or the reaction is out of control, if it is too low, the reaction will be delayed. Pressure also needs to be adapted to help the molecules collide effectively and promote the reaction.

After this operation, acetic acid gradually converts to ethanol. After distillation and purification, pure ethanol can be obtained. This is the approximate way of converting acetic acid to ethanol. According to chemical principles, the purpose of material transformation is achieved by means of process.
