PROCESS FOR MAKING FORMIC ACID UTILIZING LOWER-BOILING FORMATE ESTERS

Disclosed is a process for recovering formic acid from a formate ester of a C3 to C4 alcohol. Disclosed is also a process for producing formic acid by carbonylating a C3 to C4 alcohol, hydrolyzing theformate ester of the alcohol, and recovering a formic acid product. The alcohol may be dried and ret...

More Information
Summary:Disclosed is a process for recovering formic acid from a formate ester of a C3 to C4 alcohol. Disclosed is also a process for producing formic acid by carbonylating a C3 to C4 alcohol, hydrolyzing theformate ester of the alcohol, and recovering a formic acid product. The alcohol may be dried and returned to the reactor. The process enables a more energy efficient production of formic acid than the carbonylation of methanol to produce methyl formate. 公开一种从C-C醇的甲酸酯回收甲酸的方法。还公开一种通过羰基化C-C醇，水解所述醇的甲酸酯和回收甲酸产物，来生产甲酸的方法。所述醇可以进行干燥和返回反应器。所述方法能够比羰基化甲醇来生产甲酸甲酯更高能效地生产甲酸。
