Abstract:
1. A method for removing formaldehyde from partially oxygenated compounds, the method comprising: a) reacting an hydrocarbon-containing gas with an oxygen-containing gas in a reactor vessel to form first product blend, the first product blend including a blend of partially oxygenated compounds that include formaldehyde; b) providing the blend of partially oxygenated compounds to a reactive scrubber station; and c) contacting the blend of partially oxygenated compounds that includes formaldehyde with a reactive scrubbing liquid at the reactive scrubbing station to form a reactive liquid-formaldehyde compound; and d) removing the reactive liquid-formaldehyde compound from the first blend of partially reactive compounds from a first product stream that is depleted of formaldehyde.
