The using of sodium formate

Sodium formate reaction with sulfuric acid, formic acid can be obtained, while production of sodium sulfate, the production process is simple.

Foreign exploitation of formic acid is better, the application range has expanded each year, formic acid is also increasing. Formic acid consumption abroad is the largest leather tanning and leather for treatment, to prevent mildew. The second largest use is agriculture, for saving green fodder and cereals. Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas, the demand for formic acid ratio 4:2:1, Europe (including Africa and the Middle East) in formic acid excess capacity, is exported to the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region a net exporter. 2004 global demand of 43 to formic 450,000 t / a, expects global demand for formic acid at an annual 2% to 3% growth, with Europe as feed additives in great demand, the average annual growth rate 8% to 10%. This is mainly because from 2006 onwards, the EU to fully disable non-prescription diet of antibiotics. Experts predict that Asia formic very broad application prospects, at present, the formic acid is mainly used in Asia for natural rubber coagulant feed future Asian market will also have a lot of growth. With the rapid development of animal husbandry in China, and formic acid as a silage crop storage agents, preservatives will have a larger potential market. With the domestic attaches great importance to environmental protection, such as formic acid in tanning and dyeing industry in the application better market prospects.

Calcium formate can be produced, as an important feed additive, the amount of increase every year.

Acidified with phosphoric acid sodium formate, formic acid and sodium phosphate can be obtained, a new process excellent economy.

Formic acid as one of China's traditional export products, export volume increased rapidly in recent years, but the export products are basically the Feicheng Acid, Nanjing YPC, several companies provide.
