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 6):
The process of  claim 1 , wherein the formate ester of the carrier alcohol is selected from the group consisting of formate ester of ethylene glycol, formate ester of diethylene glycol, formate ester of diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, formate ester of 1,2-propanediol, formate ester of 1-propoxy-2-propanol, formate ester of 2-hydroxy-propanol, formate ester of 1-ethoxy-2-propanol and formate ester of 1-butoxy-2-propyl.
