Photoreduction of Carbonic Acid, Bicarbonates, and Carbonates to Formaldehyde.
Abstract
IN these laboratories we have been carrying on experiments on photosynthesis in tropical sunlight for a number of years.1 We have been able to obtain formaldehyde by the exposure of solutions of carbonic acid and bicarbonates to tropical sunlight in presence of various inorganic and organic photocatalysts.
