Formation of Formic Acid by Wet Oxidation of Glucose
The production of formic acid by hydrothermal oxidation of glucose, a model compound of carbohydrate biomass, was investigated with and without alkali using a batch reactor. All experiments were conducted in a batch reactor made of SUS 316 tubing, providing an internal volume of 5.7 cm 3 . A 30 wt％ hydrogen peroxide solution was used as an oxidant. The hydrothermal oxidation of glucose with and without the addition of alkali was carried out with temperature varying from 250 to 300 o C, reaction time varying from 30 s to 120 s, and H2O2 supply varying from 0％ to 200 ％. Results showed that at a mild temperature of 250 o C, glucose was converted into formic acid in an excellent yield of 75％ when adding alkali. Alkali seems to prevent the oxidative decomposition of the formed formic acid.
