Common Applications and Uses of Glacial Acetic Acid in Various Industries and Laboratories

In the food industry, while glacial acetic acid itself isn’t typically used directly, its diluted form, vinegar, is commonly used as a preservative and flavoring agent. The acid's antimicrobial properties help inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, making it an effective preservative in pickling processes.

Another approach to synthesizing glacial acetic acid involves the oxidation of acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO). In this method, acetaldehyde is oxidized in the presence of a catalyst, such as silver or copper. This process typically occurs at elevated temperatures and pressures to ensure that the reaction proceeds efficiently, yielding acetic acid as a product.
