Abstract
Liquid phase water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) experiments catalyzed by soluble Ru-EDTA-CO complex were conducted m a pressure reactor at CO pressures m the range of 7 - 34 atm and temperatures of 40 - 80 “C. Along with the formation of the usual WGSR products CO* and Hz m malor quantities, sigmflcant amounts of HCHO and HCOOH were obtamed m the hquid phase. The rates of formation of formaldehyde and formic acid were measured and their dependence on catalyst concentration and CO pressure found to be first order. The formation of HCOOH via CO msertlon mto the M-OH bond has been proposed m the reaction mechanism for the first time.
