Technology Readiness Level Assessment of Formalin Production Pathways

Formalin is among the highest production volume chemicals and can be obtained by several production pathways, though there are several potential production pathways in earlier development stages. To evaluate the maturity level of formalin production technologies, assessment is performed according to...
