    Uploaded by

    Andy Tan WX
    The Formox process involves the reaction of methanol and oxygen to produce formaldehyde and water. Thermochemical data for the reactants and products are provided in tables. Extent of reaction calculations at 773.15K and pressures of 1 bar and 300 bar show the reaction proceeds to near completion, with an extent of reaction of approximately 1.000 in both cases.
