Sodium formate , HCOONa, is the sodium salt of formic acid, HCOOH. It usually appears as a white deliquescent powder. Sodium formate is a white crystalline powder with water absorbing performance and slight formic acid odor, soluble in water glycerol, sightly soluble in ethano, not soluble in ether. Sodium formate's melting point is 253°C. The application of sodium formate is as following: 1. Produce the formic acid with sodium formate. Formic acid can be obtained after sodium formate reaction with sulfuric acid, sodium sulfate produced at the same time, 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. 2. Produce the oxalic acid with sodium formate. For sodium formate dehydro...
