Sodium formate is an important chemical substance with a wide range of applications. It can be produced directly from sodium hydroxide and carbon monoxide, and then the finished product can be obtained by acidolysis and distillation with sulfuric acid.

The main application areas of sodium formate include textile and printing and dyeing industries, as a dyeing aid and bleaching agent, as well as a raw material for the pharmaceutical industry and synthetic dyes, and also in the fields of copper printing and analytical reagents.

In addition, the reaction between sodium formate and sulfuric acid can get formic acid, and at the same time the by-production of sodium sulfate, the production process is simple. Therefore, the application range of sodium formate is expanding year by year, and its market demand is also increasing.

Uses of Sodium Formate.

Used in alkyd resin coatings, plasticizers, high explosives, acid-resistant materials, aviation lubricants, adhesive additives.

Used as reducing agent; used for precipitation of precious metals; can form trivalent metal complex ions in solution; buffering effect, can correct the pH value of strong mineral acid.

It is an intermediate for the production of formic acid and oxalic acid, and is also used in the production of dimethylformamide, etc. It is also used in the pharmaceutical and printing and dyeing industries. Also used in medicine, printing and dyeing industry. It is also a precipitant for heavy metals.

Precipitate precious metals, can form trivalent metal complex ions in solution. It has buffering effect and can correct the pH of strong mineral acid to a higher value. It is also a precipitant for heavy metals.

Characteristic of Sodium Formate.

Sodium formate is white crystalline powder, slightly hygroscopic, with a slight odor of formic acid, soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in ether, specific gravity 1.919, melting point 253 ° C, will be deliquescent in the air, chemically stable.

Product Method of Bulk Sodium Formate Powder.

1. Industrially it is obtained by reacting carbon monoxide with sodium hydroxide at 150-170°C and about 2 MPa. In fact, the production process of sodium formate is part of the production of oxalic acid, and the concentration of sodium hydroxide solution used to absorb the reaction is 25-30%.

Sodium formate can also be prepared by reacting formic acid with sodium oxychloride or sodium bicarbonate. Raw material consumption quota: carbon monoxide (>28%) 1630kg/t, caustic soda (>30%) 2160kg/t.

2. Pentaerythritol by-production.
