Overview
Formic acid and water and most polar organic solvents miscible in hydrocarbons has some solubility. In the gaseous hydrocarbons and formic acid to the dimer through hydrogen bonds form appears. In the gas, the hydrogen bonding leads to acid gases and ideal gas equation of state of a large deviation between. Formic acid from the liquid and solid continuous formic acid by hydrogen bonding molecules. Formic acid
Most of the other carboxylic acid has the same nature, although usually not generate acid chloride or anhydride. Until recently, all attempts to derivatives of formic acid into the product of attempts to end carbon monoxide. A fluoride and sodium formate formyl anhydride can be minus 78 degrees Celsius in the reaction. Chloride by hydrogen chloride gas will be minus 60 degrees by 1 – formylimidazole be a chloride solution. Dehydration of formic acid decomposition of carbon monoxide and water. Formic acid and aldehydes with similar reduction. It from the silver mirror reaction, the silver ammonia complex ion in the reduction of silver ions into metallic silver, but they have been oxidized into carbon dioxide and water: HCOOH +2 AgOH → 2Ag +2 H2O + CO2 and formic acid is the only addition reactions to olefins carboxylic acid. Formic acid under the action of acid (such as sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid), and the rapid reaction of olefin ester. However, side effects similar to Koch reaction can occur, the product is more advanced carboxylic acid. Most formate dissolved in water.

Hazardous characteristics: its vapor and air to form explosive mixtures case of fire, high-heat combustion caused the explosion. Oyster reacts with strong oxidants. Has strong corrosive. Solubility: dissolved in water, insoluble in hydrocarbons, soluble in alcohol. HCOOH, also known as formic acid, is a colorless, fuming, while stimulating odor of flammable liquid with a strong corrosive acid with water, ethanol, ethyl ether, glycerol and other corrosive and compatibility with spicy spicy acidity of the volatile liquid, formic acid was first proposed by J.-L. cover – Lussac obtained by acid decomposition. 1855 ~ 1856, M. Berthelot and carbon monoxide with sodium hydroxide to be prepared directly from sodium, T. Godwin – Schmidt, the first method by hydrolysis obtained from sodium formate. This method began in Europe in 1896 for industrial production, this method still has a small batch production. Scientific American design company in 1980, Bethlehem Steel and Leonard successfully developed the production of methanol carbonylation method for formic acid and formic acid 20kt factory has an annual production. In addition, formic acid oxidation may also be light oil recovery of acetic acid by-products obtained.
Edit this paragraph Preparation
Preparation of other chemicals (especially acetic acid) in the process, a large number of formic acid as a by-product is produced. However, such preparation is far from the formic acid can not meet the current needs, some are direct production of formic acid. Under the action of the alkali, the reaction of methanol and methyl carbon monoxide: CH3OH + CO → HCOOCH3 in industrial production, the reaction in the liquid state and under pressure. The typical reaction conditions of 80 degrees C and 40 atmospheres. Base for the widely used sodium methoxide. Hydrolysis of methyl formate by formic acid. HCOOCH3 + H2O → HCOOH + CH3OH hydrolysis of methyl formate requires a lot of water to ensure the reaction smoothly. Some manufacturers use an indirect means of hydrolysis, the first reaction of methyl formamide and ammonia, and sulfuric acid by acid hydrolysis of formamide: HCOOCH3 + NH3 → HCONH2 + CH3OH 2HCONH2 + 2H2O + H2SO4 → 2HCOOH + (NH4 ) 2SO4 This technique has its drawbacks, especially in the handling of by-product ammonium sulfate. Some manufacturers recently developed a class of energy-saving methods, about a large number of acid hydrolysis from the aqueous solution directly extracted. In one method (used by BASF), the formic acid under the effect of organic base were extracted by the wet method. Prepared in the laboratory, the acid can be heated in anhydrous oxalic acid in glycerol, and then steam distilled. Another preparation method (must be carried out in the hood) is different in acetonitrile under hydrochloric acid hydrolysis. C2H5NC + 2H2O → C2H5NH2 + HCOOH Preparation of isocyanide was obtained from the ethylamine and chloroform. (Isocyanide too unpleasant odor that the reaction must be carried out in a fume hood.)
Industrial production method
Industrial production are Sodium acid method, formamide method, butane (or light oil) liquid phase oxidation process and methyl formate hydrolysis of four routes. Sodium acid method is the traditional production methods, but the poor working conditions, pollution is serious. Many industrialized countries have eliminated the law, but the vast majority of formic acid production enterprises in China still use this method. Germany’s BASF method developed technology formamide high production costs, subsequently eliminated. Butane (or light oil) liquid phase oxidation process is a production of heat and power while acetic acid production methods, production of 1t of each acetic acid, formic acid by-product of 0.05 ~ 0.25t, 70s of last century was the main method of foreign production of formic acid, Later, with the low pressure methanol carbonylation acetic acid synthesis technology, industrialization, the development of the law is no longer the future, and now most of the butane (or light oil) liquid-phase oxidation device has been successively discontinued. At present, the foreign production of mainly methyl formate hydrolysis, accounting for 80% of the total capacity of formic acid. Methyl formate hydrolysis process: (1) CO carbonylation of methanol and methyl formate synthesis; (2) hydrolysis of methyl formate and methanol, methanol recycling. Process according to the different features of the Act can be divided into Kemira-Leonard technology, Bethlechem Stell process, BASF process technology and USSR. Kemira-Leonard technological features is the use of a unique alkoxide additives added to the catalyst, the reaction pressure to cut in half, hydrolysis using pre-mixed and flash technology, a large number of methyl formate in the flash is steamed inside, formic acid separation column in the low reflux ratio, low temperature, short contact time under the operation, formic acid and then esterification rate of less than 0.1%. The process in 1982 in Finland Kemira’s 20,000 t / a unit on industrialization, then the company has improved Kemira, respectively, in South Korea, India and Indonesia device applications. Bethlechem Stell process is characterized by liquid phase hydrolysis reaction carried out in uniform, mild reaction conditions, simple process, equipment reliability, can produce high-purity acid. Hydrolyzate ratio generally is water: methyl = 3:1 ~ 1:3, 10% methanol by-product. The process by U.S. companies and Bethlechem Stell SD company in the joint development of the last century 80′s success. BASF carbonylation process operating conditions and process technology similar to Kemira-Leonard, whose main feature is the use of special solvent methyl formate hydrolysis as the extraction solvent, methyl formate conversion rate, operating pressure of formic acid separation tower, the tower is less acid voltage towers, 30% can reduce the amount of steam, but the process operation more difficult. The process in 1981 in Ludwigshafen, Germany’s 10,000 t / a unit on industrialization. USSR is characterized by two-stage process continuous hydrolysis reaction, the use of strong acid ion exchange resin as acid catalyst, the disadvantage is more difficult to process operation, the investment is higher. Reaction temperature 55 ~ 62 ℃, water: methyl = 14:1 (mol), 87% conversion rate of methyl formate, formic acid purity of 86.5%. The law in Ukraine Saratov in 1989 set 40000 t / a unit on industrialization. Allegedly, the four hydrolysis process their own strengths, to Kemira-Leonard technology investment most provinces, the most economical and reasonable process. Hydrolysis of methyl formate as the current process in the production process requires a lot of process water, production costs for product separation high end, manufacturers and formic acid in the development of more effective separation technology. For example, Kemira companies have proposed using the catalytic effect of hydrolysis and absorption of solid ion exchange material, while in the methyl formate hydrolysis, separation of methanol and formic acid; BASF Corporation under the conditions proposed in the mild hydrolysis of the methyl formate, formic acid and the After separation of methyl formate, benzyl formate to use, such as separation of formic acid and methyl formate extraction and pumping of wastewater proposed recycling and so on. Line in the development of new technologies, the main research lines are: (1) formic acid precursor – methyl preparation, the field of catalytic dehydrogenation of methanol, methanol oxidative dehydrogenation, CO2 and methanol and hydrogen condensation, synthesis Direct synthesis gas, etc., of which methanol carbonylation to methyl formate dehydrogenation process and catalyst of methanol to methyl formate process more domestic and foreign research in recent years, a certain industrial applications. (2) one-step direct oxidation of formaldehyde, formic acid catalyzed formation. The technology developed by BIC V-Ti-O catalyst, the temperature range is about 100 ~ 140 ℃, the initial selectivity of formic acid can reach about 96% to 98%, catalyst production rate of formic acid 70g / L · h, the current The method has been done in the laboratory experiments and pilot. (3) CO2 Hydrogenation to take a direct formic acid. The technology from the mid-90s, the use of ruthenium catalyst, in 20.5MPa, 50 ℃ and the synthesis of formic acid under the presence of triethylamine. From an environmental point of view, the development of this route has some significance, but there is a long distance away from the industrialization, the progress is, and still at a basic stage of exploration.
Overseas market
The four largest manufacturers of formic acid production capacity: the German company BASF (193,000 t / a); Finland Kemira, Inc. (80,000 t / a); Russian Techmashimpor Corporation (80,000 t / a); the British company BP (65,000 t / a); which is used by the British BP, light oil liquid phase oxidation, the remaining three are used methyl formate hydrolysis. Abroad for better development and utilization of formic acid, the scope of application has expanded each year, also increasing the amount of formic acid. Acid consumption abroad is the biggest leather, used for tanning and leather processing, to prevent mildew. The second largest use is in agriculture, to save the green fodder and grain. Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas, the demand for a ratio of 4:2:1 formic acid, Europe (including Africa and the Middle East) of the acid excess capacity is exported to the Americas and Asia-Pacific net exporter. Formic acid in 2004 the global demand for 43 ~ 45 million t / a, expects global demand for formic acid at an annual 2% to 3% growth, with Europe in great demand as a feed additive, the average annual growth rate will reach 8% to 10%. The main reason is from 2006, the European Union to fully disable the non-prescription diet antibiotics. Experts predict that the region is very broad application prospects of formic acid, at present, formic acid is mainly used in the area of natural rubber coagulant, the future of the feed market in Asia will have a great momentum of growth.

In addition, in the production of dyes, plastics, pharmaceutical and organic intermediates, the regeneration of the old rubber, metal sodium, water electrolysis and the salt production, preparation of borax, chromium salt, potassium permanganate, phosphate, etc., but also to use a large number of caustic soda. Sodium hydroxide for industrial use should meet the national standard GB 209-2006; industrial ion-exchange membrane caustic soda should meet the national standard GB / T 11199-89; chemical sodium hydroxide should be consistent with national standards GB 11212-89; consumption of hydrogen sodium oxide shall meet the national standard GB 5175-85. Photosynthetic carbon dioxide experiment. In industry, often referred to as caustic soda, sodium hydroxide, or caustic soda is called, caustic soda. This is because the darker the sodium hydroxide solution spilled on the skin, will corrode the skin, causing burns. Dissolution of its proteins, there is a strong irritant and corrosive (due to their bags of goods on the eggs NaOH
Dissolution of white matter, compared with acid burns, alkali burns more difficult to heal.) Dropping by 0.02% solution of rabbit eyes, can cause corneal epithelial damage. Intraperitoneal LD50: 40 mg / kg, rabbit oral LDLo: 500 mg / kg. Dust irritate the eye and respiratory tract, erosion of nasal septum; splashed on the skin, especially mucous membrane splash, can produce soft crust, and can penetrate deep tissue, leaving scars after burns; splash in the eyes, not only damage the cornea, but also make deep eye tissue damage, severe cases can cause blindness; Coverage can cause gastrointestinal burns, colic, mucosal erosion, vomiting, stomach contents bloody, bloody diarrhea, and sometimes occurs Sheng Ya, difficulty swallowing, shock, gastrointestinal perforation, the stomach may occur late intestinal stenosis. Due to the strong alkaline, can cause pollution of water bodies, on plants and aquatic organisms should be noted.

Edit this paragraph produced a small amount of sodium hydroxide
You can find some sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) (better if sodium carbonate), find more of calcium oxide (lime) (food packaging generally used for water absorbent have a small bag, such as seaweed package ah something). Put the lime in the water after reaction into a stone mortar, the sodium bicarbonate (or sodium carbonate) solid particles (concentrated solution is also OK) by adding lime in order to ensure the purity of the product sodium hydroxide is required to make excessive lime reasons: reference calcium hydroxide and sodium carbonate solubility. Stirring speed up its response, wait until the reaction after a while, put it aside for a moment, with the precipitation of calcium carbonate, sodium hydroxide supernatant is carefully poured can be. If you need a moment of pure point can be heated, part of the water evaporates, which can be relatively pure sodium hydroxide.
