Hi there,
Formic Acid is usually produced:
CO+NaOH ----H₂O---> HCOONa ----H₂SO₄---> HCOOH
or
CH3OH + CO  HCOOCH3
HCOOCH3 + H2O  HCOOH + CH3OH
Our required pressure in this reaction is 40 atm and temperature is about 80 °C

Is there any way to reduce pressure using a catalyst?
(To produce large quantities of industry)


Best Regards, Mojtaba.
