Manufacturing Process
Glacial acetic acid is manufactured naturally when excreted by certain bacteria like Clostridium acetobutylicum and Acetobacter genus.
he process of manufacturing glacial acetic acid by a single stage distillation process which comprises heating a water solution containing approximately 90% of acetic acid with approximately 20% of its volume of benzol, condensing the evolved vapors therefrom, separating water from the condensate so obtained to recover the benzol therefrom and returning the benzol to the acetic acid solution.
