Uses and synthesis of Potassium formate powder

Potassium formate powder, molecular formula CHKO2 and molecular weight 84.1157, is mainly used to prepare potassium formate powder for water-bearing oil Wells. Potassium formate is a colorless transparent liquid or white solid, which is highly hydabsorbent, reductive and reactive with strong oxidant. The density of potassium formate is 1.9100g/cm3, soluble in water, and the specific gravity of saturated solution is 1.58g/cm3. It is non-toxic and non-corrosive. Potassium formate powder can be synthesized by heating carbon monoxide with potassium hydroxide, which is further acidified and distilled to obtain formic acid. The drilling fluid system prepared with potassium formate has outstanding advantages such as strong inhibition, good compatibility, environmental protection and oil layer protection. Field application results show that potassium formate inhibits the hydration of clay.

Applications/Functions of Potassium formate powder

1. Potassium formate powder is mainly used in petroleum drilling, oilfield drilling fluid, completion fluid, carbon black surface modifier, snow melting agent, mining and so on.
2. Potassium formate is widely used in textile dyeing industry. It can react with different types of dyes, including reactive dyes, direct dyes, acid dyes, cationic dyes, etc.

Physicochemical Property of Potassium formate powder

Potassium formate is an organic salt with chemical formula HCOOK. It is a white solid, highly moisture absorbent and reductive, which can react with strong oxidant. Potassium formate is easily soluble in water and can be quickly dissociated into formate and potassium ions in water, releasing a large amount of hydrogen ions. Non-toxic and non-corrosive.
