Title: Kaisa Kisko and Formaldehyde Manufacturing Innovation.

Introduction

Kaisa Kisko is an inventor associated with Perstorp, Sweden, and Johnson Matthey Davy Technologies Limited. Her patent work addresses a process for producing formaldehyde from methanol.

Latest Patents

Kisko is credited with 1 patent, titled “Process for Formaldehyde Manufacture.” The invention describes feeding methanol and an oxygen-containing gas into a reactor, where they react in the gas phase over a catalyst containing iron and molybdenum oxides. The process then recovers an outlet stream containing formaldehyde and carbon monoxide.

A distinguishing feature is the catalyst’s copper content, specified as at least 0.025 wt% or at least 0.05 wt%. The patent states that this catalyst can reduce the outlet stream’s carbon-monoxide-to-formaldehyde molar ratio by at least 5% compared with the same process using a catalyst containing essentially no copper.

Career Highlights

Kisko’s listed invention focuses on catalyst composition and process performance in formaldehyde production. Her work is associated with Johnson Matthey Davy Technologies Limited, a company involved in chemical process technologies.
