Manufacturing of MeOH, formaldehyde, formic acid and ammonium pentaborate tetrahydrate from CO2

摘要

A method of forming methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid and ammonium pentaborate tetrahydrate includes the steps of providing ammonium hydroxide and producing air bubbles within the ammonium hydroxide to form a solution. Sodium borohydride is added and dissolved within the solution of air bubbled ammonium hydroxide to form methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid and ammonium pentaborate tetrahydrate. An alternative method of forming methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid and ammonium pentaborate tetrahydrate is also provided which includes the steps of providing ammonium hydroxide and dissolving sodium borohydride therein to form a solution. Sodium bicarbonate is added to the solution of ammonium hydroxide and sodium borohydride to form methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid and ammonium pentaborate tetrahydrate.
