Abstract

Methyl acetate

as an oxygen-containing organic solvent and chemical intermediate with high reactivity

has become an important pathway for improving carbon resource conversion efficiency and enhancing the added value of the chemical industry chain through its high-value utilization. Firstly

the preparation methods of methyl acetate and their principles and characteristics were reviewed

including processes such as methanol-acetic acid esterification

methanol carbonylation synthesis and methanol dehydrogenation coupling

and the energy consumption

costs and industrial applicability of different processes were compared. Then

focusing on the high-value utilization of methyl acetate

the main utilization routes and related technological progress were summarized

with particular emphasis on its development prospects in emerging application fields

which can provide new ideas for the utilization of methyl acetate. Finally

the existing problems in current high-value utilization technologies of methyl acetate were summarized

corresponding solutions were discussed

and suggestions for future research were proposed.
