Why can sodium formate replace sodium acetate as carbon source for water treatment?

A carbon source is a process, activity, or mechanism that releases carbon into the atmosphere. The carbon sources in nature are mainly oceans, soils, rocks and organisms. In addition, industrial production and life will produce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which are also the main sources of carbon emissions.

1. A class of nutrients for microbial growth, which are carbon-containing compounds
2. Different microorganisms can utilize different carbon sources according to different enzyme systems that microorganisms can produce.
3. The role of carbon source on the growth and metabolism of microorganisms is mainly to provide the carbon frame of cells, the energy required for cell life activities, and the carbon frame of synthetic products.
4. Carbon source plays an important role in the production of microbial culture medium or cell culture medium, and provides a material basis for the normal growth and division of microorganisms or cells.

Sodium formate, chemical formula HCOONa 2H2O?, slightly formic acid odor. Soluble in water and glycerol, slightly soluble in ethanol. Melting point 253 ℃ (anhydrous), toxic. It is decomposed into hydrogen and sodium oxalate when heated. Sodium formate is used in leather industry, camouflage acid in chromium tanning process, sodium formate is used as catalyst and stabilizer synthetic agent, reducing agent in printing and dyeing industry, used in the production of hydrosulfite, oxalic acid and formic acid.

Sodium formate is used in leather industry, camouflage acid in chromium tanning process, sodium formate is used as catalyst and stabilizer synthetic agent, reducing agent in printing and dyeing industry, used in the production of hydrosulfite, oxalic acid and formic acid. Precipitate precious metals. Complex ions of trivalent metals can be formed in solution. It has a buffering effect and can correct the pH value of strong acids.

Sodium formate has one carbon less than sodium acetate (sodium acetate), but its role in the composite carbon source is basically the same, but in terms of cost, sodium formate is more than half cheaper than sodium acetate, and the price of sodium formate is significantly lower than that of sodium acetate under the same carbon atom content. , the cod content is not bad, so many manufacturers now choose to replace part of sodium acetate with sodium formate to reduce costs.

ECHEMI specializes in the supply and marketing of sodium formate, and stores a large amount of sodium formate of various contents all year round for cooperation among various production plants.
