Technology Process of Formic Acid

There total 9 articles about Formic Acid which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield:

formic acid (64-18-6) + thallium(I) carbonate → thallium formate (992-98-3)

Guidance literature:

In not given; Tl2CO3 dissolved in HCOOH;;

Reference yield:

thallium(I) carbonate → thallium formate (992-98-3)

Guidance literature:

With formic acid; according to: N. M. Sokolov, Zhur. Obshch. Khim. 24 (1954) 1581;

Reference yield:

thallium(I) sulfate + barium formate (541-43-5) → thallium formate (992-98-3)

Guidance literature:

In not given; byproducts: HCOOH; boiling dild. Ba(HCO2)2 soln. added to boiling Tl2SO4 soln. with stirring; pptn. and further boiling;; filtration, ppt. washed with strongly dild. HCOOH; filtrate repeatedly evapd. to dryness and redissolved in H2O until odour of HCOOH is gone;;

upstream raw materials:
