Abstract

1429237 Recovery of formic acid in polyol manufacture PRODUITS CHIMIQUES UGINE KUHLMANN 2 July 1973 [7 July 1972] 31352/73 Heading C2C Formic acid is recovered from an aqueous solution obtained in the manufacture of a polyol (e.g. pentaerythritol, trimethylolpropane), comprising polyol, formic acid and polyoses (impurities), by (1) washing the aqueous solution counter-currently with an organic solvent(s) which is sparingly miscible with water, is a solvent for formic acid and polyoses, but not for the polyol, and is stable with respect to formic acid both in the cold and hot, the amount of S used being such that all the formic acid passes into the solvent phase, (2) separating any solvent S present in the aqueous phase from step (1), (3) washing the solvent phase from step (1) countercurrently with water in such amount that any polyol present in the former goes again into aqueous solution and the formic acid remains in the solvent (S), (4) evaporating the solvent phase from (3) to leave polyose impurities as residue and (5) fractionating the vapours from (4) to obtain a concentrated formic acid as bottoms product. Preferred solvents (S) are aliphatic ketones, cyclic ketones, formate esters and alicyclic alcohols (e.g. methylethylketone cyclohexanone, isopropyl or isobutyl formate, or 2-, 3-, or 4-methylcyclohexanol) optionally in admixture with a substance which is insoluble in water, is stable with respect to formic acid and in which the polyol is insoluble (e.g. benzene, toluene, or cyclohexane). The aqueous solution starting material is, for example, obtained by condensing formaldehyde with an aldehyde containing at least two carbon atoms in the presence of Ca(OH) 2 , treating the solution thus obtained with sulphuric acid and filtering off CaSO 4 . Step (1) is preferably effected at an average pH of between 2 and 4 5. [GB1429237A]
