Formaldehyde from Methanol (Silver Catalyst and Methanol Recycle)
This report presents a techno-economic study of Formalin (37wt% aqueous solution of Formaldehyde) production from methanol in the United States by oxidation-dehydrogenation using a silver-catalyzed reaction at conditions that prioritize selectivity over conversion. In this case, unconverted methanol is recycled.
Formaldehyde from Methanol (Silver Catalyst and Full Conversion)
This report presents a techno-economic study of Formalin (37wt% aqueous solution of Formaldehyde) production from methanol in the United States. The oxidation-dehydrogenation uses a silver-catalyzed reaction at conditions that prioritize full methanol conversion. In this case, methanol recovery is unnecessary.
Formaldehyde from Methanol (Metal Oxide Catalyst)
This study presents the economic analysis of Formaldehyde production from methanol in the United States. In the process analyzed in this report, methanol is directly oxidized to formaldehyde in vapor phase over a metal oxide catalyst.
Formaldehyde Production from Natural Gas
This study provides the economics of Formaldehyde production from natural gas in the United States. In this report, Formaldehyde is obtained via catalytic partial oxidation of methane using a still non-commercial process based on patents issued to Snamprogetti.
