After many years development, Chinas formaldehyde industry has made big progress in production scale, output, quality and technology, and has approached or reached the international advanced level in many aspects, however, one of formaldehydes down stream products Paraformaldehyde has a broader space for development.
vapor pressure:
0.19Kpa/25; low explosion limit of powder dust: 40g/m3 . Paraformaldehyde can be slowly depolymerized to formaldehyde gas at ambient temperature and form formaldehyde water solution. Therefore, it has most of formaldehydes properties. Paraformaldehyde is a mixture of formaldehyde and HO(CH2 O)nH etc.
Paraformaldehyde can be divided into tow types. One is low polymerization degree paraformaldehyde, and the other is solid paraformaldehyde. These two types of PF are uaually distinguished by polymerization degree n( the number of CH2 O- in the chain). Low polymerization degree paraformaldehyde(n100), loose with uniform grains, is easy to dissolve in water and can be depolymerized thoroughly. It is the ideal raw material for formaldehyde, and an excellent substitute for industrial formaldehyde. Thereby it has huge development value and potential.
glyphosate(accounting for 70-80% of paraformaldehyde use), butachlor, acetochlor and. Medicine and pharmaceutics: production of vitamin A. Coatings: synthesis
exchanging resin, melamine resin and phenolic etc. Take phenolic resin preparation for an example, paraformaldehyde is employed to replace 37% industrial formaldehyde. As a result, thermoplastic and thermosetting phenolic resin of high quality is produced; moreover, waste water discharge can be decreased dramatically; also material consumption can be curtailed by over 10%.

Formaldehyde concentration is related to paraformaldehyde s precipitation temperature. If the temperature is too high, Cannizzaro reaction will take place (i.e., formaldehyde will be converted into methanol and formic acid). Therefore, vacuum dehydration is usually employed for formaldehyde concentration. 1. Concentrated formaldehyde solidification Formaldehyde concentration is also related to the cooling solidification temperature of aqueous formaldehyde solution. High temperature will cause formaldehydes evaporation with water and thereby result in formaldehyde loss; while low temperature will slower formaldehydes dehydration, cause formaldehydes deep polymerization and result in product with poor water solubility. So it is crucial to control polymerization and drying temperature. 2. Equipment Structure Spray dryer design is a comprehensive and systematic work. Factors including spraying pressure, spray angle, diameter and height of sprayer chamber, temperature and flow velocity of cooling medium, and material retaining time in the tower should be taken into account as all these factors have a great influence on product quality.
