Abstract : This report explores formaldehyde (FA) and its applications in industrial processes, focusing on production methods, kinetic studies, and hydrogen storage technolo- gies. The introduction chapter provides an overview of formaldehyde's significance and its hazardous nature, detailing its physical properties, interactions with wa- ter and alcohols, and conventional production via methanol oxidation. It also assesses the potential of oxymethylene ethers (OMEs) and oxymethylene butyl ethers (OMBEs) as environmentally friendly diesel additives. The study intro- duces a novel electrobiochemical method for enhancing methanol decomposition, utilizing voltage to lower activation energy and improve reaction efficiency. This method is simulated using ASPEN PLUS, highlighting a process model that inte- grates MATLAB and Excel for comprehensive analysis and optimizing formalde- hyde production through reactive distillation.Further, the kinetics study investigates the formation of polyoxymethylene ethers from formaldehyde and butanol using NMR and GC techniques, revealing complex- ities in reaction kinetics and side product formation. The final chapter addresses hydrogen storage using Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), proposing a method that converts hydrogen into storage-friendly forms and integrating a pro- cess simulation to optimize the system. The research provides a foundational ap- proach for advancing formaldehyde production and hydrogen storage technologies,suggesting areas for future exploration and development in these fields.

This internship experience involved a comprehensive study of a chemical manufacturing plant, aiming to explore the various important aspects of its operations. The focus of the internship was on analyzing the products and their industrial applications, with a particular emphasis on the sulfation plant. This involved studying the processes of SO3 production, sulfation reaction, neutralization, and product post-processing.Furthermore, the internship included an examination of the utility systems in the plant, including the cooling tower, DM water plant, and boiler house. The internship also provided insights into the general practices and procedures followed in the plant.Additionally, the internship involved detailed discussions on material balance for the sulfation process and an in-depth study of the plant's equipment. This included the utilization of essential equipment such as pumps, heat exchangers, reactors, mixers, and valves.Overall, this internship experience at BASF India Ltd. Dahej Plant served as a valuable opportunity to gain comprehensive knowledge and insights into the operations of a chemical manufacturing plant.
