BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Carbonylation processes in the presence of iridium catalysts are already known and described, for example, in US 3772380, European Patent Publication EP 0618184-A, UK Patents GB 1276326, GB 1234641 and GB 1234642. Carbonylation in the presence of an iridium catalyst and a copromotor selected from ruthenium and osmium, is described in European Patent Publication EP-0643034-A. Summary of the Invention It has now been found that a promoter selected from the group consisting of cadmium, mercury, zinc, gallium, indium and tungsten has a beneficial effect on the carbonylation rate of an alkyl alcohol and / or a reactive derivative thereof, in presence of an iridium catalyst. Therefore, according to the present invention, there is provided a process for the production of a carboxylic by carbonylation of an alkyl alcohol and / or a reactive derivative thereof, which process comprises contacting, in a carbonylation reactor, said alcohol and / or reactive derivative thereof with carbon monoxide in a liquid reaction composition comprising: (a) an iridium catalyst, (b) an alkyl halide, (c) at least a finite concentration of water and (d) ) a promoter selected from the group consisting of cadmium, mercury, zinc, gallium, indium and tungsten. Also, according to the present invention, there is provided a catalyst system for the carbonylation of an alkyl alcohol and / or a reactive derivative thereof, which catalyst system comprises (a) an iridium catalyst, (b) an alkyl halide and (c) a promoter selected from the group consisting of cadmium, mercury, zinc, gallium, indium and tungsten. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The promoters of the present invention are not only generally more economical than promoters such as ruthenium and osmium, but it is thought that at least cadmium, mercury, zinc, gallium and indium are less likely to form species. volatile in the carbonylation reaction. Suitable alkyl alcohols comprise C.sub.1 to C.sub.C alkyl alcohols with methanol being a very preferred alkyl alcohol. Preferably, the alkyl alcohol is a primary or secondary alkyl alcohol. The product of the carbonylation of an alcohol having n carbon atoms and / or a derivative thereof is a carboxylic having n + 1 carbon atoms and / or an ester of a carboxylic having n + 1 carbon atoms and of the alcohol that has n carbon atoms. In this way, the product of the carbonylation of methanol and / or a derivative thereof is acetic and / or methyl acetate. Suitable reactive derivatives of the alkyl alcohol include the corresponding alkyl ester of the alcohol and the corresponding carboxylic product, dialkyl ethers and alkyl halides, preferably iodides or bromides.

Examples of suitable tungsten-containing compounds that can be used include W (CO) 6, WC14, WCl6, WBr5, WI2 or C H ^ W (CO) 3 and any tungsten compounds chloro-, bromo- or iodocarbonyl. The molar ratio of each promoter: iridium catalyst is suitably (0.1 to 20): 1, preferably (0.5 to 10): 1. More than one promoter can be used. An optional co-promoter selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, osmium and rhenium and which may comprise any ruthenium, osmium or rhenium containing compound that is soluble in the liquid reaction composition may also be employed. The optional co-promoter can be added to the liquid reaction composition for the carbonylation reaction in any suitable form that is dissolved in the liquid reaction composition or can be converted to a soluble form.

The molar ratio of each optional co-promoter: iridium catalyst is suitably from (0.1 to 20): 1, preferably from (0.5 to 10): 1. Preferably, the compounds containing iridium, promoter and optional promoter are free of impurities that provide or generate in situ ionic iodides, which can inhibit the reaction, for example, salts of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals or salts of other metals. Ionic contaminants such as, for example, (a) corrosion metals, in particular nickel, iron and chromium and (b) phosphines or nitrogen-containing compounds or ligands, which can be quaternized in situ, should be kept to a minimum in the composition of liquid reaction, since they will have an adverse effect on the reaction by generating I ~ in the liquid reaction composition which has an adverse effect on the reaction rate. It has been found that some metallic corrosion contaminants such as, for example, molybdenum, are less susceptible to the generation of I ~. Corrosion metals that have an adverse effect on the reaction rate can be minimized by using suitable corrosion resistant construction materials. Similarly, contaminants such as alkali metal iodides, for example lithium iodide, should be kept to a minimum.
The corrosion metal and other ionic impurities can be reduced by the use of a suitable ion exchange resin bed, to treat the reaction composition, or preferably a recycle stream of catalyst. Said process is described in US 4007130. Preferably, the ionic contaminants are kept below a concentration at which they would generate 500 ppm I ~, preferably less than 250 ppm I ~, in the liquid reaction composition. Suitable alkyl halides have alkyl moieties corresponding to the alkyl moiety of the alkyl alcohol reactant and are preferably alkyl halides Ci a to Cg and even more particularly Cj to C 4. Preferably, the alkyl halide is an iodide or bromide, more particularly an iodide. A preferred alkyl halide is methyl iodide. Preferably, the concentration of alkyl halide in the liquid reaction composition is from 1 to 20%, preferably from 2 to 16% by weight. The reactant carbon monoxide may be essentially pure or may contain inert impurities such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen, noble gases, water and C ^ to C4 parabolic hydrocarbons. The presence of hydrogen in the carbon monoxide fed and generated in situ by the water gas displacement reaction is preferably maintained at low values, for example, at a partial pressure of less than 1 bar, since its presence can be translated into the formation of hydrogenation products. The partial pressure of carbon monoxide in the reactor is suitably from 1 to 70 bar, preferably from 1 to 35 bar and more especially from 1 to 15 bar. The total pressure of the carbonylation reaction is suitably from 10 to 200 relative bar, preferably from 15 to 100 bar relative and more preferably from 15 bar to 50 bar relative. The temperature of the carbonylation reaction is suitably 100 to 300 ° C, preferably from 150 to 220 ° C. As the solvent for the reaction, the carboxylic acid and / or ester thereof can be used. The process of the present invention can be carried out as a batch or continuous process, preferably as a continuous process. The carboxylic acid and / or ester thereof obtained as a product can be separated from the reactor by extracting the liquid reaction composition and separating the carboxylic acid product and / or ester therefrom by one or more steps of instantaneous and fractional distillation of the other components of the product. the liquid reaction composition, such as iridium catalyst, cadmium, mercury, zinc, gallium, indium or tungsten promoter, optional co-promoter, alkyl halide, water and unconsumed reactants, which can be recycled to the reactor to maintain its concentrations in the liquid reaction composition. The product carboxylic acid and / or ester thereof can also be separated from the reactor in the form of vapor. The invention will now be illustrated, by way of example only, with reference to the following examples. Promoters of cadmium, mercury and zinc For a series of batch carbonylation experiments, a Hastelloy B2 (Registered Trade Mark) autoclave of 150 cm3 capacity was used and equipped with a Magnedrive agitator (Registered Trade Mark), liquid injector device and cooling coils . A supply of gas to the autoclave was provided from a ballast vessel, feed gas being provided to maintain the autoclave at a constant pressure. The rate of gas absorption at a given point in the experiment was used to calculate the carbonylation rate, as the number of moles of reactant consumed per liter of cold degassed composition of the reactor per hour (moles / l / h), to a composition particular of the reactor (reactor composition based on a cold degassed volume). The concentration of methyl acetate was calculated over the course of the reaction from the initial composition, assuming that one mole of methyl acetate was consumed for each mole of carbon monoxide consumed. The organic components of the head space of the autoclave were not taken into account. The data are recorded at calculated concentrations of methyl acetate of 26%, 15% and 6% corresponding to typical constant concentrations found in the liquid reaction composition in a continuous process. For a calculated concentration of methyl acetate of 15% in said continuous process, the concentration of other components of said liquid reaction composition are: methyl iodide, about 5 to 8%, generally about 5 to 6%; water, approximately 6 to 8%; and acetic acid, the rest. For each batch carbonylation experiment, the autoclave was charged with cadmium, mercury or zinc promoter, optional co-promoter and the liquid components of the liquid reaction composition excluding part of the water charge (6.5 g), in the which the iridium catalyst was dissolved (see Table !) • The autoclave was flushed twice with nitrogen and once with carbon monoxide (being pressurized with each gas at approximately 25 bar) and then heated, by electric heating coils, to a temperature of 190 ° C under a carbon monoxide pressure bar. A fast and consistent stirring speed (1000 rpm) was used. Once the temperature was stabilized, the aqueous solution of iridium catalyst was injected into the autoclave. Simultaneously, the autoclave was pressurized to 22 bar relative to carbon monoxide fed from the ballast vessel. The pressure in the autoclave was subsequently maintained at about 22 relative bars (see Table 2) with carbon monoxide fed from the ballast vessel. The partial pressure of carbon monoxide was not measured but was estimated to be less than 15 bar. The reaction temperature was maintained within ± 1 ° C of the desired reaction temperature (190 ° C). The gas absorption of the ballast vessel was measured throughout the course of the experiment and was used to calculate the carbonylation rate. Once the absorption of carbon monoxide from the ballast vessel ceased, the autoclave was isolated from the gas supply and cooled to room temperature by means of the cooling coils. The autoclave was vented and samples of the liquid reaction composition and gases from the headspace of the autoclave were analyzed by gas chromatography. The main product of each batch carbonylation experiment according to the present invention was acetic acid. The yields of by-products are indicated in Table 2. Examples 1-10 v Experiments A-I The results indicated in Table 2 show that cadmium does not act as a carbonylation catalyst under the reaction conditions (Experiment D). The results of Table 2 also demonstrate that cadmium promotes the carbonylation of methanol catalyzed by iridium (compare Examples 1-3 with Experiments A-D). The results in Table 2 show that the carbonylation rate increases as the cadmium concentration does. The results in Table 2 show that mercury and zinc are also promoters for the carbonylation of methanol catalyzed by iridium (Examples 4-7), but they are not as effective as cadmium.
The results in Table 2 also demonstrate that cadmium and zinc promote a methylated carbonylation of iridium / ruthenium catalyzed methanol. (compare Experiment E with Examples 8, 9 and 10). No evidence of precipitation was observed in Examples 1 to 7, which indicates that cadmium, mercury and zinc are soluble. lahlaJ. Autoclave loads I 2?

Tungsten Promoter • a A 300-capacity Hastelloy B2 (Registered Trade Mark) autoclave equipped with a Dispersimax (Registered Trade Mark) agitator liquid injector device and cooling coils was used for a series of batch carbonylation experiments. A supply of gas to the autoclave was provided from a ballast vessel, feed gas being provided to maintain the autoclave at a constant pressure. The rate of gas absorption at a certain point in the experiment was used to calculate the carbonylation rate, as the number of moles of reactant consumed per liter of cold degassed composition of the reactor per hour (moles / l / h), to a composition particular of the reactor (reactor composition based on a cold degassed volume). The concentration of methyl acetate was calculated during the course of the reaction from the starting composition, assuming that one mole of methyl acetate is consumed for each mole of carbon monoxide consumed.
The organic components of the head space of the autoclave were not taken into account. The data were recorded at a calculated concentration of methyl acetate of 26%, 15% and 6%, which corresponds to a constant typical concentration in the liquid reaction composition in a continuous process. For a calculated concentration of methyl acetate of 15%, the concentrations of other components of said liquid reaction composition are: methyl iodide, about 5 to 8%, generally about 5 to 6%; water, approximately 6 to 8%; and acetic acid, the rest. For each batch carbonylation experiment the autoclave was charged with tungsten promoter, optional co-promoter and the liquid components of the liquid reaction composition excluding part of the water charge (10.83 g), in which the catalyst was dissolved of iridium (see Table 5). The autoclave was once flooded with nitrogen at approximately 30 bar and twice with carbon monoxide at approximately 25 bar, and then heated, by means of electric heating coils, to a temperature of 190 ° C under a monoxide pressure. of carbon of 8 relative bars. A fast and consistent stirring speed (1500 rpm) was used. Once the temperature was stabilized, the aqueous solution of iridium catalyst was injected into the autoclave. Simultaneously, the autoclave was pressurized to 22 bar relative to carbon monoxide fed from the ballast vessel. The pressure in the autoclave was subsequently maintained at 22 bar relative to the carbon monoxide fed from the ballast vessel. The carbon monoxide partial pressure was calculated to be about 8 bars when the calculated concentration of methyl acetate was 15% by weight. The reaction temperature was maintained within ± 1 ° C of the desired reaction temperature (190 ° C). The absorption of gas from the ballast vessel was measured throughout the course of the experiment and was used to calculate the carbonylation rate. Once the absorption of carbon monoxide from the ballast vessel ceased, the autoclave was isolated from the gas supply and cooled. The autoclave was vented and samples of the liquid reaction composition were analyzed by gas chromatography. The main product of each batch carbonylation experiment according to the present invention was acetic acid. The yields in by-products are summarized in Table 6. Examples 15-21 and Experiments -N In Examples 15-17, more methyl iodide (3 molar equivalent to tungsten) was added to compensate for the probable loss of methyl iodide to tungsten iodocarbonyl components. Experiment M demonstrates that the simple addition of this extra methyl iodide to an iridium catalyzed reaction, without promoting, did not cause a significant increase in the reaction rate. The results given in Table 6 demonstrate that tungsten promotes the carbonylation of methanol catalyzed by iridium (compare Examples 15-17 with Experiments J-L). Other Experiments Other experiments were carried out (Experiment N and Examples 18-21) using the same 300 ml autoclave apparatus employed for tungsten.
Examples 18 to 20 show the effect of increasing the amount of zinc promoters and Example 1 demonstrates the effect of the cadmium promoter.
