Hi All,
I need help for my final year project. I want to make a preliminary design of formic acid plant using methyl formate as raw material, via hydrolysis, producing methanol as by product and formic acid.
anybody can help me find the appropriate arrhenius equation for determining the rate contants ? because i cant find it, i've searched the net, but yet to find them . Oh yeah, one more thing, does anybody know where can i find the latest prices for methyl formate, formic acid and methanol ? i guess retail prices and import-export prices differ greatly. Which price(s) should I use ?
Thank you very much for your attention.

hi,
I'm also doing a final plant design project on formic acid production (following the same production method) and am looking for some of the same info. The most pertinent reaction (conversion) information i found was from the US patent site (search under production of formic acid), although it does not seem to be sufficient. If you find any rate constants, that would be excellent (we are trying to use methanol + CO (with sodium or potassium methoxide) ->methyl formate and then MF + H2O -> formic acid and water). Any information on separating the azeotrope (water and FA) would also be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
