Zusammenfassung:A process for converting butane to acetic acid wherein a mixture containing butane, molecular oxygen, acetic acid and cobaltic ions is continuously passed through a reaction zone under elevated temperatures and elevated pressures while maintaining therein a partial pressure of molecular oxygen of about 0.6 to about 15 pounds per square inch (0.04 to about 1.1 kilograms per square centimeter).
