The iron-molybdenum method is based on a high-performance iron-molybdenum catalyst, which is operated in the lower explosion limit range of methanol-air, and is purified, preheated and oxidized to form formaldehyde. The formaldehyde plant produced by the iron-molybdenum catalyst process has a large production capacity, a high methanol conversion rate, up to 95%-99%, low methanol consumption per unit, and can produce high-concentration formaldehyde without concentration. low, and the catalyst has a long service life. Using high activity and high selectivity iron molybdenum catalyst, under the reaction conditions of 240~400℃, the formaldehyde yield can reach 91%~94%.
