Methanol Carbonylation�Synthesis of Formic Acid from Methyl Formate
Formic acid is an important chemical raw material for a wide range of uses. After the successful development and construction of methanol carbonylation of methyl formate 30,000 tons / year industrial plant, the company successfully developed methanol carbonylation of methyl formate , With a short process, easy to obtain raw materials, investment in the province, no waste emissions, the advantages of low production costs.
Performance:
Brief description of the process:
CO and methanol mixed with the catalyst after a certain pressure and temperature of the carbonylation reaction to form methyl formate, with methanol to absorb the tail gas entrainment of methyl formate, methanol, condensate back to the reactor. The crude product containing methyl formate is rectified in a pressurized distillation column, and the methyl formate product is withdrawn at the top of the column. The extracted product is filtered and removed to remove the spent catalyst and re
cycled to the reactor. ormic acid methyl ester mixed with water after preheating by the reactor into the formic acid hydrolysis reactor for hydrolysis reaction, the reaction of formic acid and methanol. The reaction solution is distilled, separated and distilled to produce the product formic acid; the unreacted methyl formate and the by-product methanol are recycled and recycled.
Formic acid, with the chemical formula HCOOH, is the simplest carboxylic acid and a colorless, pungent liquid with a sharp odor. It is naturally found in the venom of certain ants and serves as a key ingredient in stinging nettle plants. Formic acid is widely used in various industrial applications, including as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed, a coagulant in rubber production, and a powerful descaling agent for cleaning metal surfaces. It also plays a role in textile and leather processing, and as a basic building block in the synthesis of various organic chemicals. Its versatility and reactivity make formic acid a valuable compound with a range of practical uses in different industries.

The primary use of Ammonium Sulphate is as a fertilizer for alkaline soils. In the soil the ammonium ion is released and forms a small amount of acid, lowering the pH balance of the soil, while contributing essential nitrogen for plant growth. The main disadvantage to the use of Ammonium Sulphate is its low nitrogen content relative to Ammonium Nitrate, which elevates transportation costs. It is also used as an agricultural spray adjuvant for water soluble insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. There it functions to bind iron and calcium cations that are present in both well water and plant cells. It is particularly effective as an adjuvant for 2,4-D (amine), glyphosate and glufosinate herbicides.
