Basics

  • The acetate ester of vinyl alcohol
  • Produced industrialy by the reaction of ethylene and acetic acid with oxygen in the presence of a palladium catalyst

Used For

Ecology

  • Ethylene from biorefinery
  • Acetic Acid from bioreactor(s)
  • Oxygen from either of these sources:
    • Electolysis Device
    • Pressure Swing Absorbtion Device
  • Catalyst is a bit rough (Get the pallidium from exhaust catalytic converters?)
