Production of formaldehyde by the iron-molybdenum method

Production of formaldehyde via the iron-molybdenum method: How to increase its production capacity and reduce methanol consumption – by controlling oxygen levels, the methanol concentration in the reactor, or by adjusting the pressure of the heat carrier based on the catalyst’s service life and its capacity characteristics
The claim of reducing methanol consumption is incorrect; what should be done is to increase the conversion rate, and this depends mainly on the activity of the catalyst, as well as temperature, concentration, and dispersion
This is mainly determined by the catalyst activity and the method of loading; the methanol concentration is set accordingly. Generally, the oxygen content is kept around 11, while the reaction temperature depends on the amount of unreacted methanol. All aspects are considered comprehensively, including the CO level and catalyst activity.
It mainly analyzes the amounts of methanol and carbon monoxide
