The present invention relates to a process for preparing formic acid by reacting carbon dioxide (
1
) with hydrogen (
2
) in a hydrogenation reactor (I) in the presence of
a catalyst comprising an element of group 8, 9 or 10 of the Periodic Table,
a tertiary amine comprising at least 12 carbon atoms per molecule and
a polar solvent comprising one or more monoalcohols selected from among methanol, ethanol, propanols and butanols,
to form formic acid/amine adducts as intermediates which are subsequently thermally dissociated,
where a tertiary amine having a boiling point which is at least 5° C. higher than that of formic acid is used and
a reaction mixture comprising the polar solvent, the formic acid/amine adducts, the tertiary amine and the catalyst is formed in the reaction in the hydrogenation reactor (I) and is discharged from the reactor as output (
3
).

a tertiary amine-comprising stream (

to form formic acid/amine adducts as intermediates which are subsequently thermally dissociated, where the work-up of the output (
3
) from the hydrogenation reactor (I) is carried out by addition of water so as to increase the distribution coefficient of the catalyst between the upper phase (
4
) and the lower phase.
A process is proposed for production of formamides by reaction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen in a hydrogenation reactor I in the presence of
a catalyst comprising an element from group 8, 9 or 10 of the periodic table,
a tertiary amine comprising at least 6 carbon atoms per molecule, and also
a polar solvent,
to form formic acid-amine adducts as intermediates, which are subsequently reacted with ammonia or amines in a reactor to obtain a two-phase liquid reaction effluent from which the liquid phase enriched with the formamides is distillatively separated to recover the formamide.
