Abstract
A process for the preparation of methyl acetate and/or acetic acid by carbonylating dimethyl ether and/or methanol with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst, which catalyst is a H-mordenite bound with a mesoporous binder selected from silicas, aluminas, silica-aluminas, magnesium silicates and magnesium aluminum silicates.
