- Formaldehyde is a
chemical compound with the formula H2CO. It is the simplest aldehyde—an
organic compound containing a terminal carbonyl group: it consists of
exactly one carbonyl.
- Formaldehyde was
first synthesized by the Russian chemist Aleksandr Butlerov (1828-1886),
but was conclusively identified by August Wilhelm von
Hofmann.
- Formaldehyde is an
intermediate in the oxidation (or combustion) of methane as well as
other carbon compounds, e.g. forest fires, in automobile exhaust, and in
tobacco smoke.
- Formaldehyde is
produced in the atmosphere by the action of sunlight and oxygen on
atmospheric methane and other hydrocarbons; thus, it becomes part of
smog.
- Small amounts of
formaldehyde are produced as a metabolic byproduct in most organisms,
including humans.
- Formaldehyde is
formed by the dehydrogenation of methanol. The heat required for the
endothermic reaction is obtained by burning hydrogen contained in the
off-gas produced from the dehydrogenation reaction.
- A mixture of air and
methanol is vapourised and passed into catalyst-packed reactor tubes.
The reaction which takes place at 350oC is highly exothermic and
generates heat to provide steam for turbines and process
heating.
- Formaldehyde is an
important chemical used widely by industry to manufacture building
materials and numerous household products.
- In homes, the most
significant sources of formaldehyde are likely to be pressed wood
products made using adhesives that contain urea-formaldehyde (UF)
resins.
- Formaldehyde-based
solutions are used in embalming to disinfect and temporarily preserve
human remains. It is the ability of formaldehyde to fix the tissue that
produces the tell-tale firmness of flesh in an embalmed body.
- Formaldehyde
derivatives serve a wide variety of end uses such as wood products,
plastics, and coatings.
- Formaldehyde has
been used for many years in consumer goods to deter spoilage caused by
microbial contamination. It has been used as a preservative in household
cleaning agents, dishwashing liquids, fabric softeners, shoe-care
agents, car shampoos and waxes, and carpet-cleaning agents.
- Formaldehyde can be
produced from natural gas at half the cost of methanol based
formaldehyde. A natural gas based plant would provide an excellent
return on a $5 million investment at a price of about $200/mt compared
with conventional formaldehyde selling at $ 280/mt 100%
basis.
- The demand for
formaldehyde will continue to track the demand in the housing industry
and the various board products used in residential construction and
furniture.
- The use of
formaldehyde in the manufacture of chelating agents represents a modest
but important market for formaldehyde.
- Approximately 75% of
the formaldehyde used in the synthesis of chelating agents is consumed
in the manufacture of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The
remaining 25% is used to produce nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), primarily
for export.
- The formaldehyde
adsorption capacity of the L-lysine-immobilized sepiolite was found to
be approximately 10 times greater than that of the intact sepiolite, and
approximately 100 times greater than that of activated
carbon.
