Formic Acid
XLW
Formic acid was first introduced by J- L. Gai Lussac is obtained by decomposing oxalic acid. From 1855 to 1856, M. Bertello directly prepared sodium formate from sodium hydroxide and carbon monoxide, while T. Gold Schmidt was the first to use hydrolysis to produce formic acid from sodium formate. This method began to be used in industrial production in Europe in 1896 and is still used in small-scale production today. In 1980, the American Scientific Design Company, Bethlehem Steel Company, and Leonard Company successfully developed a method for methanol carbonylation to produce formic acid, and a factory with an annual output of 20000 tons of formic acid has been put into operation. In addition, formic acid can also be recovered from by-products of light oil oxidation to acetic acid.
