METHOD FOR PRODUCING FORMIC ACID FORMIATES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing formic acid formiates consisting in supplying a formic acid-containing fluid flow (I) and a metal formiate-containing fluid flow (II) and in mixing the fluid flow (I) and the fluid flow (II) in order to obtain corresponding formic acid formiate. Said invention is characterised in that a fluid flow (III) containing metallic formiate components, metal methanolate, methanol and formic acid methylester (MeFo) at a ratio > 0.1 mass % is inserted into the fluid flow (I) or the precursor thereof, into the fluid flow (II) or the precursor thereof or into a mixture which is formed by the fluid flows (I) and (II). Said fluid flow (II I) is obtained by a method for producing MeFo by carbonylating methanol in a reactor at a pressure up to 50 MPa absolutes in the presence of metal methanolate which used as homogenous catalyst.
