  1. Acetic Acid CH3 CO2 By: Witek Horbatowski

  2. Current important uses of acetic acid Acetic Acid is used as an ingredient in plastic, vinegar, lacquers and is a preservative itself.

  3. Acetic acid is made by the process of fermenting various substances: starchy solutions, sugar solutions or wine with Acetobacter bacteria. Acetic acid production process

  4. It would help future colonies produce a variety of lightweight instruments for daily use from plastic or keep food fresh for a long time by fermenting it. It’s very useful in space, considering there isn’t a good climate to grow crops. Why would humans need acetic acid in space?

  5. To produce acetic acid on a large scale, you would need to use: Filters, desalting machinery, evaporation machines and distillation equipment. It is a bit expensive, but worth it. I think it should be the one to travel to space and help humans in their daily life. What equipment is needed to produce acetic acid?

  6. Acetic acid can produce vinegar and is a fermenting substance itself. It can help future colonies to keep their food fresh and healthy for a long time without rotting. Acetic acid is also an ingredient in plastic, which is very useful in making different gadgets and tools. Why is acetic acid so important?
