Formic acid is a widely used commodity chemical. It can be used as a safe, easily handled, and transported source of hydrogen or carbon monoxide for different reactions, including those producing fuels. The review includes historical aspects of formic acid production. It briefly analyzes production based on traditional sources, such as carbon monoxide, methanol, and methane. However, the main emphasis is on the sustainable production of formic acid from biomass and biomass-derived products through hydrolysis and oxidation processes. New strategies of low-temperature synthesis from biomass may lead to the utilization of formic acid for the production of fuel additives, such as methanol; upgraded bio-oil; γ-valerolactone and its derivatives; and synthesis gas used for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons. Some technological aspects are also considered.
甲酸是一种用途广泛的商品化学品。它可用作安全、易于处理和运输的氢或一氧化碳来源，用于不同的反应，包括生产燃料的反应。本综述包括甲酸生产的历史方面。它简要分析了基于传统来源（如一氧化碳、甲醇和甲烷）的生产。然而，主要重点是通过水解和氧化过程从生物质和生物质衍生产品中可持续生产甲酸。从生物质低温合成的新策略可能导致甲酸用于生产甲醇等燃料添加剂、升级生物油、γ-戊内酯及其衍生物以及用于费托合成烃的合成气。还考虑了一些技术方面。
