About this document
Formaldehyde Production Plant Design by obaid khan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the complete process for producing formaldehyde from methanol using a silver catalyst. It involves the following main steps: 1. Methanol is vaporized using a shell and tube heat exchanger and fed into the fixed bed catalytic reactor at 393K where it is converted to formaldehyde. 2. The product stream from the reactor is then fed into a packed column absorber where it is absorbed in water, producing an aqueous formaldehyde solution. 3. This solution is fed into a distillation towe
