Hexamine, also called methenamine (INN), is a heterocyclic organic compound that can be prepared by the reaction of formaldehyde and ammonia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methenamine

Industrially, formaldehyde is produced by the catalytic oxidation of methanol. The most commonly used catalysts are silver metal or a mixture of an iron oxide with molybdenum and vanadium. In the more commonly used iron oxide system (Formox process), methanol and oxygen react at 250°C to produce formaldehyde according to the chemical equation

2 CH3OH + O2 → 2 H2CO + 2 H2O
The silver-based catalyst is usually operated at a higher temperature, about 650 °C. On it, two chemical reactions simultaneously produce formaldehyde: the one shown above, and the dehydrogenation reaction

CH3OH → H2CO + H2
