Question

Reactio. Of methyl bromide with formic acid and/water

Answer 1

Answer:

4 Formic Acid for LOHC

Formic acid can be utilized commercially in various fields, such as in industry, grass silage, leather tanning, antiicing, textile dyeing, finishing, food additives, natural rubber, drilling fluids, and various chemical processes. The worldwide production of formic acid was about 621,000 t/a in 2012. One of the main industrial routes is the carbonylation of methanol (Eq. 12) and subsequent hydrolysis of methyl formate (Eq. 13). BASF (Germany, BASF process), Kemira (Finland, Kemira-Leonard Process), Feicheng Acid Chemicals (China), and Luxi Chemical Group (China) produce formic acid by this route

Equation:

CH3OH+CO→HCOOMe

HCOOMe+H2O→HCOOH+CH3OH

Formic acid can also be produced by other methods such as (i) from formates (usually sulfuric acid); (ii) by-products from pentaerythritol, trimethylolpropane, and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol; and (iii) from biomass
