Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for recovering formic acid from a formate ester that allows for recovery of a formic acid product comprising greater than 75 wt. % formic acid. Disclosed is also a process for producing formic acid by carbonylating a carrier alcohol, hydrolyzing the formate ester of the carrier alcohol, and recovering a formic acid product comprising greater than 70 wt. % formic acid. Discloses are carrier alcohols that enable more favorable hydrolysis equilibriums and/or distillation sequences.

Claim (Index 14):
The process of  claim 10 , wherein the carrier alcohol is selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol; diethylene glycol; diethylene glycol monomethyl ether; 1,2-propane diol; 1-propoxy-2-propanol; 2-hydroxy-propanol; 1-ethoxy-2propanol, and 1-butoxy-2-propanol.
