[3 . The reaction gases are cooled (C) and enter the absorption tower (A), where absorption of the formaldehyde takes place. Chemistry of Petrochemical processes MAT. The contact process has 2 formaldehyde throughout the reactor length. The choice of alcohols as the materials of the investigation is related to the fact that in the rectification of the methanol feedstock the recovered methanol-fusel oil-water fraction, containing up to 33% water, 5% ethanol, and up to 13% higher alcohols, is burned, i.e., is irretrievably lost for industry, while this valuable chemical raw material can be used for formaldehyde synthesis. This process, performed at a reactor temperature of 250 to 500 degrees Celsius, oxidizes methanol efficiently, converting 98 percent or more: 2 CH 3 OH + O 2 2 CH 2 O + 2 H 2 O. .

SUKUNYA A, KITTISUPAKORN P, Formaldehyde synthetic simulation of a fixed bed reactor over silver catalyst. However this type of catalyst has almost entirely replaced by a shallow catalyst bed of silver crystals 18. Foam materials have uniform cellular structure with isotropy of mechanical and fluidodynamic properties: an average diameter of the elementary cell - 0.5-5.0m; porosity - 80-98%; volume density - 0.1-0.5 g/cm3. Iron oxide, molybdenum oxide, or silver catalysts are typically used for preparing formaldehyde. The development of high-pressure synthesis of methanol by BASF in 1923 allowed the production of formaldehyde on a true industrial scale 16. Thesis (PhD--Chemistry)--University of Auckland, 2003. In one variation of the process methanol is vaporized, mixed with excess of air O2 below methanol explosion limit, and then passed over the catalyst at 300-600 C.The formaldehyde produced is absorbed in water and . Energy paths for surface . $ is metered into the air-methanol stream, and the combined stream enters the reactor. Therefore, less methanol is required to achieve better results to those in the silver catalyst process. The partial oxidation is performed in two different processes with different catalysts. Isomerization of 2-methyl-l-butene-4-ol over a palladium-on-charcoal catalyst affords 2-methyl-2-butene-4-ol. The reaction was carried out using 100 mL of methanol (2.53 mol) in the presence of powdered (150 mg) catalyst. MethanoltoFormaldehyde Methanol is converted into formaldehyde by catalytic vapor phase partial oxidation over a metal oxide (Ferric and Molybdenum oxides) catalyst (Fe2O3-MoO3). The stream then passes through a heater in which its temperature is raised to 145C. Over 80 years the valorisation of syngas has quite developed and is widely used for example for hydroformylation, 4,38 or synthetic fuels (Fischer-Tropsch synthesis). methanol to formaldehyde oxidation using polycrystalline silver catalyst14have been reported in literature. This process burdens the environment with gas emissions into the air, and with the generation of excess steam condensate containing up to 0.2% of formaldehyde, which cannot be recycled into the process.

Formaldehyde (CH 2 O) is one of the most important industrial chemicals which is mainly used for the production of resins or as a building block for the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Formaldehyde Production Using Silver Catalyst Processes The rst industrial formaldehyde production processes used silver as catalyst [7]. Commercially, formaldehyde is produced mostly from air and methanol as raw materials using three different methods. 2 current fa production processes rely on the oxi-dehydrogenation of methanol over silver or iron-molybdenum catalysts, which results in the formation of large However, the nature of active oxygen species in such reactions is still debated. The latter is then reacted with the aldehyde from the oxidation step . The oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde over silver catalyst is an industrial process of great significance due to the importance of formaldehyde as a precursor to the production of valuable chemicals.

Abstract The oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde on silver catalysts was studied at about 420 C and atmospheric pressure in a fixed-bed differential reactor. The influences of temperature, concentration of both reactants, gas velocity, space velocity, the form of the silver catalyst and surface composition of the catalyst were studied. In addition, transition metal catalysts, particularly copper based 1 The global market of CH 2 O is estimated at 45.6 Mt in 2020 2 and expected to grow with 4.65 % per year from 2021 to 2028, thus reaching a market value of USD 37.7 billion by 2028. formaldehyde is produced from methanol via two industrial processes; the dehydrogenation of methanol over a silver catalyst,1-5 or the selective oxidation of methanol over mixed metal oxide catalysts.6-9 the partial oxidation route is increasingly preferred as it uses a lower methanol feed (10%) and a lower temperature (300 c) with a more The invention further addresses the silver catalysts themselves and the advantageous use thereof in formaldehyde synthesis. This is one of the standard energy-efficient processes. Methanol synthesis BASF developments .

The versatility demonstrated by this organic compound led to its usage in numerous production chains. Initially, gauze made of silver wire was used as the catalyst element 17. Nurul Shazana. Methoxide binds strongly to the surface, preferentially to the highest coordination adsorption sites, while methanol and formaldehyde are weakly adsorbed far from the surface, with no preference for a particular site at low coverage. It is synthesized via partial oxidation of methanol using a mixed oxide iron molybdate catalyst (Fe2 (MoO4)3-MoO3). IJTRA, v.2, p.23-27, 2014. Air oxidation of this alcohol over a silver catalyst at 500C (the same catalyst as is used for the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde) affords the corresponding aldehyde. A catalytic mechanism that involves turnover-limiting methanol oxidation, a consequence of the high energetic demand of methanol dehydrogenation, is corroborated through a series of competition. it is commercially available as an aqueous solution containing 37 to 55 wt% fa with methanol residues from the fa synthesis process, which inhibits the formation of insoluble polymers.

Formaldehyde, produced by dehydrogenation of methanol, is used almost exclusively in die syndiesis of phenolic resins (Fig. Near complete methanol conversion is achieved by addition of steam and rapid quenching of the products, with around 90-92% selectivity to formaldehyde. A short summary of this paper. 2.2. The methanol-rich process is predominantly operated under an atmospheric pressure at above 900 K [ 4, 5, 6 ], in which formaldehyde is produced from methanol via an oxidative pathway (2CH 3 OH + O 2 2 CH 2 O + 2H 2 O, fH = 159 kJ mol 1) or a dehydrogenation pathway (CH 3 OH CH 2 O + H 2, fH = + 84 kJ mol 1 ). CONVERSION OF METHANOL TO FORMALDEHYDE. A fractional methanol conversion of $70.0 \%$ is achicved in the reactor, and the product gas contains 5.00 mole\% hydrogen. In the first method, formaldehyde is produced using air and methanol in the presence of molybdenum oxide catalyst present inside the tubes of shell and tube reactor [ 14 ].
