Listed below are the primary application scenarios of sodium formate:
It is widely utilized as a reagent for chemical analysis to detect arsenic and phosphorus, and can also act as a disinfectant and dye mordant. For industrial use, powdered sodium formate is a practical replacement for formic acid. It helps raise the efficiency of limestone flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems while delivering better safety and health protection for operators.
