The present invention relates to a process for the production of acetic acid and in particular to a process for the production of acetic acid by the carbonylation of methanol and/or a reactive derivative thereof in the presence of an iridium catalyst. By operating with a defined liquid reaction composition, it is possible to produce acetic acid of a quality sufficient in terms of water (less than 1500 ppm) and propionic acid (less than 400 ppm) content for its ultimate industrial applications using a single distillation column to separate and recycle the light ends from the acetic acid product.
