Resumen:
The performance of a laboratory packed-column for themanufacture of urea-formaldehyde (UF) concentrates is analyzed.Gaseous formaldehyde was generated by the thermaldecomposition of paraformaldehyde in a carrier nitrogenstream. The UF solution was continuously recirculated througha glass column filled with Raschig rings. No pH control wasnecessary when the operation was started using a solution witha F/U molar ratio higher than 3.5 to 4. Otherwise, insolubleresins appeared during the operation. The formaldehyde absorptionrate was controlled by the gas phase resistance. Thevapor composition in equilibrium with a typical UF concentrateis provided as a function of temperature.
