  • Patent number: 7390932
    Abstract: Process for preparing high-concentration gaseous formaldehyde having a molar CH2O:H2O ratio of ?0.6 from an aqueous formaldehyde solution by evaporation of at least part of the solution, in which the aqueous formaldehyde solution is heated to a vaporization temperature T and the gas phase formed is taken off, wherein the evaporation temperature T obeys the relationship: T[° C.]?T?min[° C.] where T?min(c)=A+B×(c/100)+C×(c/100)2+D×(c/100)3 and A=+68.759, B=+124.77, C=?12.851, D=?10.095, where c is the instantaneous CH2O content of the aqueous formaldehyde solution during the evaporation in percent by weight and is from 20 to 99% by weight.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2004
    Date of Patent: June 24, 2008

  • Patent number: 7345207
    Abstract: Process for preparing high-concentration formaldehyde solutions having a CH2O content of ?50% by weight from an aqueous formaldehyde solution having a lower CH2O content by evaporation of part of this solution (partial evaporation), in which the aqueous formaldehyde solution is heated to an evaporation temperature T at which the gas phase becomes enriched in water relative to the liquid phase and the gas phase formed is taken off continuously or discontinuously, wherein the evaporation temperature T obeys the relationship: T[° C.]<Tmax[° C.] where Tmax(c)=A+B×(c/100)+C×(c/100)2+D×(c/100)3 and A=+68.759, B=+124.77, C=?12.851, D=?10.095, where c is the instantaneous CH2O content of the aqueous formaldehyde solution during the evaporation in percent by weight and is from 20 to 99% by weight.
