METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FORMIC ACID FORMATES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the production of formic acid formates, wherein a flowing liquid (I) containing formic acid, and a flowing liquid (II) containing a metal formate, are provided. The flowing liquids (I) and (II) are guided to a rectification column such that a higher or equal guiding point for the liquid flow (II) is selected for the rectification column for the liquid flow (I). The liquid flows (I) and (II) in the rectification column are mixed by separating water via the head of the rectification column and the liquid flow is withdrawn from the rectification column, said liquid flow containing the formic acid formate. The invention is characterised in that the liquid flow is obtained as a melt containing at least 0.5 wt. % water.
