TL;DR: In this article, an improved process for producing ethyl acetate comprising contacting acetic acid and ethanol in a reaction zone in the presence of an acid catalyst, distilling formed vapors and condensing to form an organic phase rich in ethanol and an aqueous phase in water, separating the phases and further distilling each phase to obtain a final purified product and a water stream low in organic components.
