Classification

Summary

Acetate acetylation workers are specialists who manage the operation of acetylation reactions and control quality in the production process of acetate products used as raw materials for films, fibers, and more.

Description

Acetate acetylation workers use cellulose, solvents, and acetic anhydride to perform acetylation reactions in acetate reaction tanks and manage product purity and viscosity. They set and adjust reaction conditions (temperature, time, stirring speed), operate post-reaction separation, washing, drying, and solvent recovery equipment, and conduct quality inspections (viscosity measurement, composition analysis). Equipment maintenance, waste liquid treatment, and safety and health management are also important tasks, requiring advanced chemical knowledge and precise operations.

Future Outlook

With responses to environmental regulations and the introduction of automation technologies, expertise in improving operational efficiency and safety is required. With the increasing demand for sustainable materials, stable demand is expected for personnel skilled in acetate product quality control.
