The application discloses a method for synthesizing
calcium formate from
carbon monoxide and
calcium hydroxide and recycling
tail gas to prepare
sodium formate, and belongs to the technical field of
fine chemical synthesis and resource recycling. The method uses
tail gas (CO: 80.70%, O2: 1.44%, CH4: 0.43%, H2: 7.27%, N2: 10.16%) and
calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) as raw materials, selects an
ionic liquid with a specific structure as a catalyst and a reaction medium, and directionally synthesizes
calcium formate under mild conditions.
Sodium formate is prepared after pretreatment of the
calcium formate production
tail gas, and the separation and circulation process of the
ionic liquid, the washing mechanism of the
ethanol solution and the recycling scheme of the
ethanol after washing are clarified. The application realizes full resource recycling of
coal chemical CO,
ionic liquid and
ethanol, solves technical problems such as tail gas
pollution, catalyst
recovery difficulty and
solvent waste in the traditional process, and has the advantages of
high calcium formate purity (≥98%), high CO conversion rate (≥92%),
high sodium formate purity (≥98%) and high ethanol
recovery efficiency (≥90%). The comprehensive economic and environmental benefits are significant, and the method is suitable for industrialized production.
