Lehigh University Office of Technology Transfer
posted on 07/10/2009
A method wherein a methanol-containing waste gas stream, such as a pulp mill
waste stream which contains methanol and other waste products, including methyl
mercaptans, is passed in contact with a catalyst comprising certain supported
metal oxides in the presence of an oxidizing agent; preferably the gas stream is
contacted with the catalyst, in the presence of the oxidizing agent, for a time
sufficient to convert at least a portion of the methanol to formaldehyde
(CH2O).
