Formic Acid Distillation (Fractional Distillation)
2026-03-18
Formic Acid Distillation (Fractional Distillation)
Distillation is the most direct and widely used method. It involves heating the mixture to separate formic acid and water based on their boiling point differences: formic acid boils at 100.8°C, while water boils at 100°C. Despite their close boiling points, precise temperature control allows formic acid to be vaporized and then recovered via condensation—a process known as fractional distillation. A drawback is that the small temperature difference may lead to incomplete separation, often requiring multiple distillation cycles to achieve higher purity.
