What is acetic acid
Acetic acid, an organic , acetic acid formula (CH3COOH), is one of the most important carboxylic acids. Other names include ethanoic acid, glacial acetic acid and ethyl acid. This compound is a colorless liquid with a vinegar-like odor that has a very high corrosive power and dissolves easily in water. It also has good solubility in tetrachloromethane, ethanol, ether and acetone. Acetic acid is produced both artificially and naturally (by bacteria). It is produced naturally from fruits and some spoiled foods from the fermentation process and is one of the oldest acids known to man. A dilute solution of acetic acid is formed by the fermentation and oxidation of natural carbohydrates called vinegar.

How we use in industry
In industry, glacial acetic acid is used in the preparation of metal acetates and in some printing processes. Vinyl acetate is widely used as a solvent for resins, paints and varnishes in the production of plastics, cellulose acetate in the production of photographic films and textiles, and organic volatile esters (such as ethyl and butyl acetate).
Biological vision of acetic acid
Biologically, this acid is an important biological (metabolic) substance that is naturally present in body fluids and juices. It is a corrosive and colorless liquid with a boiling point of 117.9 ° C and a melting point of 16.6 ° C.
When was first discovery
Acetic acid is one of the oldest substances discovered by humans because in ancient times, humans discovered the existence of vinegar from the fermentation process when making wine. The Greek philosopher Theophrastus in the 3rd century BC described the reaction between lead carbonate and green alumina to form copper salts and copper acetate by the reaction between vinegar and the production of pigments. In ancient times, the ancient Romans kept their wines in lead jars, which produced a sweet wine called sapa, the sweet taste of which was made from lead acetate. They know it. Renaissance scientists first obtained glycolic acid acetic acid from the dry distillation of metal acetates, and in 1847 the same German chemist Kolb synthesized acetic acid from minerals.

Applications of acetic acid
Ethanoic acid is used as a chemical reagent to produce a number of chemical compounds. It is mainly used in the production of vinyl acetate monomer, anhydride acetate and ester.
We can use this acidic product to purify organic compounds, acetic acid is used as a solvent for crystallization.
Acetic acid can be used as an antiseptic against pseudomonas, staphylococci, enterococci, streptococci and others. It is also used in uterine cancer screening. The World Health Organization has listed acetic acid in its list of essential medicines. It is also used to treat external ear infections such as fungal and bacterial growths
This substance is used in vinegar, which is used as a supplement in pickles, raw vegetables and other foods.
This acid is used to produce inks and dyes
Acetic acid is also used in perfume making.
The product is used to control the growth of bacteria in the food and medical industries
This substance can be used as a raw material in the production of acetates such as iron acetate, silver, copper, sodium, etc.
The process of converting acetate in the body
The acetic acid unit of Panorama Global Trade Sdn Bhd has been designed and executed for the annual production of 150,000 tons of acetic acid with annual feed, 82,000 tons of methanol and 82,000 tons of carbon monoxide from the methanol and carbon monoxide units of Panorama global trading . Acetic acid is obtained from the reaction between methanol and carbon monoxide in a reactor containing a complex catalyst for rhodium and methyl iodide as an accelerator at 187 ° C and 28 bar pressure.There are several ways for producing acetic acid we will discuss about it in articles
Food industry
Acetic acid commonly is in commercial pickling operations, and in condiments like mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup. It is also used for seasoning various food items like salads etc. Additionally, vinegar can react with alkaline ingredients like baking soda and when that happens it produces a gas which helps to make baked goods become more puffy.
