Control of later-stage reactions in iron-molybdenum catalysts
Thread Content
Regarding the process of producing formaldehyde using the iron-molybdenum method, methanol can easily reach its explosive limit in certain areas of the catalyst over time, which can cause the explosion-proof version of the catalyst to burst. Are there any colleagues who use this iron-molybdenum method for formaldehyde production? Have you encountered similar situations? How can the reaction be controlled in later stages using a catalyst to reduce combustion and explosion?
It’s hard to say; it’s not likely to explode later on. Don’t worry, and if you’re still concerned, try reducing the load
Are you from the formaldehyde industry? Does the circulating fan have a flow meter?
This is essential; otherwise, it’s impossible to do the calculations
