We report the highly remarkable discovery that glucose oxidation catalysed by polyoxometalates in methanolic solution enables formation of formic acid and methyl formate in close to 100% combined selectivity, thus with only negligible sugar oxidation to CO2.

Reaction kinetics of the esterification of Methyl Formate (MF) is studied in a batch reactor at different temperatures and the reliability of the estimated parameters is analyzed with Matlab using a fourth order Runge-Kutta method in the paper. Kinetic constants were experimentally examined and used to calculate the optimal operation parameters of semi-continuous reactive distillation for production of MF in order to minimize the amount of unconverted Formic Acid (FA) remained in the bottom. The results show that the optimal condition is obtained at the formic acid/methanol mole ratio of 0.5:1 and the mass fraction of formic acid at the bottom is 2% which is very close to the calculated value. Simulation work was carried out with Matlab and the results showed good agreement with the experimental data.
