Abstract
A process for the production of alkyl formates such as methyl formate from the reaction of a carbon monoxide containing gas and an alkyl alcohol, such as methanol, is disclosed. The process features low conversions of alkyl alcohol to alkyl formate, high catalyst concentrations, higher reaction zone temperatures, improved process thermal efficiencies, and reduced apparatus requirements.
