Abstract
The synthesis of sodium formate by the reaction of carbon monoxide with sodium hydroxide in ethanol was studied.The effects of stirring speed,ethanol concentration,molar ratio of sodium hydroxide to carbon monoxide,partial pressure of carbon monoxide and reaction temperature on the reaction rate were investigated.The experimental results showed that the appropriate synthesis conditions of sodium formate were:the stirring speed of 300r/min,the ethanol concentration of 95%,the molar ratio of sodium hydroxide to carbon monoxide of 0.88,the partial pressure of carbon monoxide of 1.5MPa and the reaction temperature of 80℃.Under these conditions,the yield of sodium formate was 91.71%,and its purity was 100%.
