Methyl Formate Production by Catalytic Carbonylation of Methanol with Carbon Monoxide
Methyl Formate Production Cost Breakup by Catalytic Carbonylation of Methanol with Carbon Monoxide
This study analyzes Methyl Formate Production by Catalytic Carbonylation of Methanol with Carbon Monoxide, covering manufacturing, process flow, operating expenses, and financial considerations.
Last Updated: January, 2025
This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of methyl formate production by catalytic carbonylation of methanol with carbon monoxide. The production is initiated with the chemical reaction between methanol and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst. In this reaction, sodium methoxide is used to catalyze the chemical reaction in a continuously agitated reactor. The process is carried out at an elevated pressure of approximately 60 atm and a moderate temperature of 80 °C. The reaction results in the formation of methyl formate, which is recovered and purified at the end.
