2. Description of the Related Art A large amount of formate is discharged from a manufacturing process for synthesizing various chemicals and it is a regulated object of COD and BOD. Therefore, a simple decomposition method is desired. Conventionally, as a method of catalytically decomposing formate using a catalyst,
As described in JP-A-47-25056 and JP-A-48-96512, a method of decomposing a formate salt in a polar solvent in the presence of a palladium or nickel catalyst is known. However, in the method described in JP-A-47-25056, the catalytic activity of the palladium catalyst is lowered during the reaction carried out under reduction, and the catalyst must be regenerated with oxygen after the reaction, which requires a complicated operation. . Furthermore, JP-A-48
-96512, in the presence of a nickel catalyst,
Although the formate is decomposed, this method has drawbacks such as a high reaction temperature and a slow decomposition rate. There is a demand for a method capable of solving the above problems and achieving a high decomposition rate under safe and mild conditions.
