Technical Document

Brief Overview

Sodium formate, HCOONa, is the sodium salt of formic acid, HCOOH. It usually appears as a white deliquescent powder. Sodium formate is used in several fabrics dyeing and printing processes. It is also used as a buffering agent for strong mineral acids to increase their pH, as a food additive (E237), and as a de-icing agent.

Manufacturing Process

Sodium formate is industrially produced by reacting sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with carbon monoxide (CO) under controlled conditions:

𝑁𝑎𝑂𝐻 + 𝐶𝑂 →𝐻𝐶𝑂𝑂𝑁𝑎
NaOH+CO→HCOONa
The resulting solution is evaporated, allowing sodium formate to crystallize. The crystals are then filtered, dried, and processed to meet industrial requirements. This method ensures high purity and efficiency in production.
