The process examined is a conventional silver-catalyzed process without methanol recycle. In this process, methanol is converted to Formaldehyde over a silver catalyst at conditions that prioritizes complete conversion over selectivity, making a methanol distillation column unnecessary. The final product obtained is Formalin, a 37 wt% Formaldehyde solution. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Formalin, silver catalyst, formaldehyde solution, complete conversion
