What are the useful patents for Oxidation of methanol to produce formaldehyde?
There are the Basf and Formox processes...But which patents did they use for their actual process?

We are not here to do your homework.

Thread <html><a href="http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=168"># 168</a> [<i>formaldehyde from HCOOH?</i>] mentions a number of patents relevant to your question.

Not what you asked for, but perhaps useful;
post <font face="verdana"><a href="http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=525"># 525</a> [<i>formaldehide from methanol</i>],
and post <a href="http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=132"># 132</a> [<i>Methanol -> methanal </i>]</font></html>

And that's just on this site! (although I'll admit there is sparse information available on the internet). Additionally, I believe that there is a PDF on eliteforum's server regarding the study of various catalist performances in the dehrdrogenation of methanol to methanal in air. I'll try and find the printed copy i have lying around here somewhere as it is quite enlightening.

It's harder to find this forum than to find patents...

Says enough I think...
