Abstract

A method for determining the characteristic of one or more components in a step of an acetic acid production process using Raman spectroscopy. The process includes providing a feed stream comprising multiple components to a separations unit, one of the components being acetic acid, the separations unit separating the feed stream into two or more exit streams having a different composition from one another, and measuring a characteristic of one or more of the components by Raman spectroscopic analysis.
