Formic acid (from Latin formica 'ant'), systematically named methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid, and has the chemical formula HCOOH and structure H−C(=O)−O−H. It is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally, most notably in some ants.
5 sie 2024 · Formic acid is produced today mainly by two routes: the hydrolysis of methyl formate and the preparation of free formic acid from formate salts. The methyl formate based process route is currently dominant.
Formic acid is the starting material for the production of potassium formate and cesium formate. When dissolved in water, these formate salts give a solution (formate brines).
The global Formic Acid market has reached around 750 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.48% during the forecast period until 2035. Currently, China is the highest producer of Formic Acid.
Kemira Oyj has produced formic acid for 30 years now. The production of formic acid has been expanded gradually, and the current production volume is over 100,000 tons per year. Kemira actively develops new applications for formic acid, especially for the feed, chemical, and leather industries.
13 lis 2024 · Global Formic Acid Market Statistics: The global formic acid is expected to reach 1,216.5 Kilo Tons by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.82% from 2025 to 2033. ... Manufacturers are focusing on producing bio-based formic acid to meet the growing consumer preference for green chemicals, driven by environmental awareness and regulatory ...
20 mar 2024 · Given the global capacity for formic acid production, the method proposed here could mitigate over 90 kt CO 2 emissions annually. A process capable of large-scale formic acid (FA) production via CO2 hydrogenation is presented. This study provides the key strategies for use in developing a viable process for continuous operation.
