    Abstract: 1,235,138. Formaldehyde. BADISCHE ANILIN- & SODA-FABRIK A.G. 1 Nov., 1968 [4 Nov., 1967; 2 Dec., 1967; 19 July, 1968], No. 51928/68. Heading C2C. Formaldehyde solutions are prepared by reaction of methanol in the gas phase with O 2 or a gas containing free O 2 with or without steam at 600-800‹ C. in contact with a silver catalyst followed by multistage absorption of the formaldehyde from the resultant gas, the gas passing through at least three absorption stages at 60-90‹ C. under acid conditions, the first to penultimate stages containing an aqueous ureaformaldehyde precondensate solution having a molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea of from 1.8:1 to 2.8:1 and the final stage containing an aqueous urea solution, the residence time in said final stage being not more than one hour. Aqueous methanol recovered from the gas leaving the final absorption stage is preferably recycled for oxidation, and the mixture of recovered aqueous methanol and fresh methanol is treated with an alkaline agent to a pH of at least 9 before oxidation. The aqueous formaldehyde-urea precondensate solution may be obtained by mixing liquids from the final and first absorption stages and condensing under acid conditions.

    Abstract: 1425751 Formaldehyde BADISCHE ANILIN- & SODA-FABRIK AG 25 June 1973 [26 June 1972] 30012/73 Heading C2C In a process for producing formaldehyde by oxidizing dehydrogenation of methanol in the presence of a silver catalyst at elevated temperature, the reaction is carried out at a temperature of 550‹ to 750‹ C. and during the reaction an additional vapour mixture of oxygen and water heated to at least 70‹ C. and providing 0À05 to 0À8 mole of water and of 0À005 to 0À06 mole of oxygen (O 2 ) based on 1 mole of feed methanol, is introduced into the vaporous starting mixture which has been heated to at least 60‹ C. and contains from 0À09 to 1À8 moles of water and 0À35 to 0À5 moles of oxygen (O 2 ) per 1 mole of methanol before said starting mixture enters the catalyst bed, the space velocity being 0À9 to 3 metric tons of methanol per square meter of catalyst bed cross-section per hour. The plant may consist of a plurality of reactors in parallel, and not all the reactors need be operated according to the invention, at least not all the time. The reaction temperature may be raised in steps. Baffles at which impurities collected and removed may be provided downstream of the point of introduction of the additional vapour mixture but upstream of the catalyst bed.
