About this document
Kinetics of Methanol Oxidation to Formaldehyde by Jorge Londoño is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a study on the kinetics of the catalytic oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde over an iron molybdate catalyst. The reaction was tested in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) between 200-250°C. The results supported a redox kinetic model that is partially hindered by water adsorption. Secondary reactions formed byproducts like dimethoxymethane, dimethyl ether, and methylformate at the low temperatures used.
