The sodium formate details apply in different industry

Sodium formate’s chemical formula is HCOONa.2H2O, slightly acid smell. Soluble in water and glycerol, slightly soluble in ethanol. Melting point is 253 ℃, and toxic. A strong thermal decomposition into hydrogen and sodium oxalate. Mainly used as reagents for chemical analysis, the determination of arsenic and phosphorus, also used as a disinfectant, etc.. Making benzoic acid react with sodium bicarbonate,and keeping solution in alkaline, filtering, then adding formic acid in filtrate, the solution is acidic, evaporation, crystallization to obtain the product. It is the intermediate for production of formic acid and oxalic acid, also used in the production of two methyl formamide.
Sodium Formate:
1. Raw material: Sodium formate(Sodium Formate 97%,Sodium Metabisulfite)chemically reduces other components by donating an electron or electrons. Formic acid and oxalic acid are prepared from sodium formate. Sodium formate is used In the manufacture of sodium hydrosulfite, a common reductive bleaching chemical.
2. Reductive bleaching agent: Sodium formate is used to improve the brightness and color in
3. Dyeing/Printing fabrics and paper.
4. Tanning of leather: Sodium formate stabilize the chromium, resulting in better leather quality. It is used for better penetration and tanning time reducing.
5. Deicing chemical: Sodium formate is less corrosive and undergoes fast melting action relative to other deicing chemicals.
6. Buffering agent: Sodium formate improves both desulfurization efficiency and increasing lime absorbent utilization.
