| Sumario: | This work studies the production of formic acid, which is recognized, among other multiple uses, as one of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage, especially in portable energy applications. Formic acid production is designed using a conceptual process design approach with the assistance of a computational process simulation tool. The results obtained allow defining the process flowsheet, establishing the operating conditions of the equipment involved and verifying the feasibility of the chemical route used as an alternative for the use of industrial CO2 emissions, with the potential environmental benefit that this entails. To this end, technical performance indicators were evaluated. This work is part of a broader project aimed at capturing CO2 from the sugar-alcohol industry in Northwest Argentina for its conversion into various chemical products and fuels, as a strategy to reduce CO2 emissions and consequently mitigate climate change. |
