Formaldehyde is a colorless, pungent gas with a linear molecular structure, composed of one carbon atom, two hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. Primarily produced through methanol oxidation, formaldehyde finds applications in manufacturing resins, polymers, textiles, and paper, as well as serving as a disinfectant, preservative, and laboratory fixative. Despite its industrial importance, formaldehyde poses health concerns as an irritant and potential carcinogen, warranting careful handling. Additionally, its release into the environment contributes to indoor air pollution and can play a role in the formation of ground-level ozone.
Catalytic Process: The methanol-air mixture enters a reactor containing a catalyst, usually made of silver or metal oxide. This catalyst helps manage the controlled change of methanol into formaldehyde, and water is produced on the side.
Gas Cooling: The gas mixture leaving the conversion reactor is rapidly cooled to change formaldehyde and other products into a liquid state.
Separation: The condensed mix is then sorted into different parts, mainly focusing on formaldehyde.
Purification and Stabilization:
Eliminating Byproducts: Any unwanted elements, methanol that didn't change, or other products are taken out from the condensed mixture.
Stabilization: To prevent formaldehyde from grouping up into paraformaldehyde, a bit of methanol is often added for stability.
Storing and Distributing: The cleaned formaldehyde is kept and readied for being sent out to different industries that need it as a starting material for their processes.
