摘要:
Process for obtaining formic acid by thermal separation of a stream comprising formic acid and a tertiary amine (I), in which a liquid stream comprising formic acid and tertiary amine (I) is produced by combining tertiary amine (I) and a formic acid source, secondary components comprised therein are separated off, formic acid is removed by distillation from the resulting liquid stream in a distillation apparatus, where the bottom output from the distillation apparatus is separated into two liquid phases, and the upper liquid phase is recirculated to the formic acid source and the lower liquid phase is recirculated to the separation of the secondary components and/or to the distillation apparatus, wherein low boilers are removed by distillation from the upper liquid phase and recirculated to the depleted stream.

The invention relates to a method for obtaining formic acid by thermally separating a flow containing formic acid and a tertiary amine (I), wherein a liquid flow containing formic acid, tertiary amine (I), and water is produced by bringing together a tertiary amine (I) and a formic acid source in the presence of water, water and organic decomposition products of the tertiary amine (I) are removed, and formic acid is removed from the obtained liquid flow by means of distillation in a distillation device, wherein the removed flow containing water and organic decomposition products of the tertiary amine (I) is separated into two liquid phases, the upper liquid phase is removed, and the lower liquid phase containing water is fed back to the formic acid source.

A process is proposed for preparing formic acid by reaction of carbon dioxide (1) with hydrogen (2) in a hydrogenation reactor (I) in the presence of a catalyst containing an element from group 8, 9 or 10 of the Periodic Table, of a tertiary amine containing at least 12 carbon atoms per molecule, and of a polar solvent comprising one or more monoalcohols selected from methanol, ethanol, propanols and butanols, and water, to form formic acid/amine adducts as intermediates, which are subsequently cleaved thermally, with workup of the outputs (3) from the hydrogenation reactor (I) in several process steps, a stream (13) comprising tertiary amine from the workup being used as a selective solvent for the catalyst.

The invention relates to a method for producing methyl formate by carbonylating methanol with carbon monoxide in a carbonylation reactor in the presence of a catalyst system containing alkali formate and alkali alcoholate, thereby obtaining a reaction mixture (R G ) which contains methyl formate, alkali formate, alkali alcoholate and optionally unreacted methanol and unreacted carbon monoxide and which is removed from the carbonylation reactor. The reaction mixture (R G ) contains at least 0.5 wt.% alkali alcoholate, based on the total weight of the reaction mixture (R G ), and the molar ratio of alkali formate to alkali alcoholate in the reaction mixture (R G ) is greater than 1.
