Title: Robert Häggblad and His Formaldehyde Manufacturing Patent.

Introduction

Robert Häggblad is an inventor associated with Perstorp, Sweden. His patent work includes a process for producing formaldehyde from methanol, with an emphasis on reducing carbon monoxide relative to formaldehyde in the reactor outlet stream.

Latest Patents

Häggblad is credited with 1 patent: “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 catalyst also contains copper, at a specified minimum concentration. The patent states that this approach 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

Häggblad is associated with Johnson Matthey Davy Technologies Limited. His patent reflects work on catalyst composition and process conditions for formaldehyde production.

Collaborations

Gary Evans and Kaisa Kisko are identified as Häggblad’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or the extent of their collaboration.

Conclusion

Robert Häggblad’s patent focuses on using a copper-containing iron-and-molybdenum oxide catalyst to improve the formaldehyde production process by lowering the relative amount of carbon monoxide in the reactor outlet stream.
