Description

  

  Verfahren zur Darstellung von Ameisensäure aus     Formiaten.       Das Hauptpatent betrifft ein Verfahren  zur Herstellung von Ameisensäure aus     For-          miaten,    welches dadurch gekennzeichnet ist,       dal3    man     Formiate    mit verdünnter Salpeter  säure bei tiefer Temperatur in Gegenwart  von     Puffersubstanzen,    z. B.     Formiaten,    Harn  stoff oder Aminen, behandelt, und die ent  standene Ameisensäure aus dem Reaktions  gemisch, z. B. durch Extraktion oder fraktio  nierte Destillation, gewinnt.  



  Es wurde nun gefunden, dass man freie  Ameisensäure auch in Abwesenheit von Puf  fersubstanzen durch Umsetzung von     For-          miaten    mit Salpetersäure gewinnen kann,  wenn man die     Formiate    bei tiefer Tempera  tur, z. B. bei 0 bis -200 mit der Salpeter  säure vollständig umsetzt und die dabei ent  stehende freie Ameisensäure ebenfalls in der       gälte    mittelst eines Lösungsmittels extrahiert.  <I>Beispiel:</I>  390     gr        Caloiumformiat    werden mit 645     gr     Wasser aufgeschlämmt und mit 610     gr    62 Ob  iger Salpetersäure unter Kühlung zwischen 00  und<B>-100 0</B> versetzt.

      Nach erfolgtem Umsatz wird die in Frei  heit gesetzte Ameisensäure mit     Butylformiat     extrahiert. Bei einer normalen kontinuierlichen  Extraktion     beziehungsweise    bei einer zirka       8-10maligen    Einzelextraktion mit der glei  chen Menge     Butylformiat    kann man praktisch       alle        Ameisensäure,        das        heisst        95-98%        der     Säure extrahieren.  



  Die Trennung der Ameisensäure vom Ex  traktionsmittel erfolgt darauf, wie üblich,  durch fraktionierte Destillation.



  Process for the preparation of formic acid from formates. The main patent relates to a process for the production of formic acid from formates, which is characterized in that formates are mixed with dilute nitric acid at low temperature in the presence of buffer substances, e.g. B. formates, urea or amines, treated, and the ent formed formic acid from the reaction mixture, z. B. by extraction or fractional distillation wins.



  It has now been found that free formic acid can be obtained even in the absence of buffer substances by reacting formates with nitric acid if the formates are at low tempera ture, eg. B. at 0 to -200 with the nitric acid completely reacted and the resulting free formic acid also extracted in the cold by means of a solvent. <I> Example: </I> 390 grams of potassium formate are slurried with 645 grams of water and mixed with 610 grams of 62 above nitric acid while cooling between 00 and <B> -100 0 </B>.

      After the conversion has taken place, the formic acid set free is extracted with butyl formate. With a normal continuous extraction or with an approximately 8-10 single extraction with the same amount of butyl formate, practically all formic acid, i.e. 95-98% of the acid, can be extracted.



  The separation of the formic acid from the extraction agent then takes place, as usual, by fractional distillation.
