Introduction to SNOWHITE CHEMICAL brand sodium formate

Sodium formate is also known as sodium formate. The crystal contains two crystal waters, so it is also known as sodium formate dihydrate, sodium formate dihydrate, and sodium formate dihydrate. Sodium formate is the simplest organic carboxylate, which is white crystal or powder with a slight smell of formic acid. Slightly deliquescent and hygroscopic. Easily soluble in about 1.3 parts of water and glycerol, slightly soluble in ethanol and octanol, and insoluble in ether. Its aqueous solution is alkaline. When heated, sodium formate decomposes into hydrogen and sodium oxalate, followed by sodium carbonate. Sodium formate is mainly used in the following industries:

(1) Mainly used to produce formic acid, oxalic acid and insurance powder, etc., and also used to produce dimethylformamide, etc. Also used in medicine, printing and dyeing industries. ;

(2) Used as reagents, disinfectants and mordants for the determination of phosphorus and arsenic;

(3) Used as a preservative. Use 4: Used in alkyd resin coatings, plasticizers, and chemicals;

(4) Used as explosives, acid-resistant materials, aviation lubricants, and adhesive additives.

The production method of sodium formate mainly involves the reaction of carbon monoxide and sodium hydroxide solution at 160~200℃ and 2MPa pressure to generate sodium formate, and then acidolysis and distillation with sulfuric acid to obtain the finished product formic acid; and the manufacture of neopentyl glycol, pentaerythritol, and trihydroxymethyl A by-product of propane.
