The invention relates to the technical field of
fine chemical engineering, and discloses a preparation process for producing
potassium formate, which is characterized in that
formic acid and
potassium hydroxide are used as core reaction raw materials, and a
potassium formate finished product is prepared through the steps of precise
neutralization reaction, compound
impurity removal,
activated carbon deep decoloration, vacuum concentration, gradient cooling
crystallization and
vacuum drying. According to the method, the reaction pH value, the
reaction temperature and the material ratio are regulated and controlled, the chelating
impurity removal and low-temperature
crystallization processes are combined,
metal ions and organic impurities in the product are effectively removed, the problems that a traditional
potassium formate preparation process is low in purity, poor in yield, low in production safety and insufficient in
environmental protection property are solved, and the prepared
potassium formate product is high in purity, excellent in water
solubility and suitable for industrial production. The method can be widely applied to the fields of oilfield drilling,
snow-melting agents,
leather tanning, chemical intermediates and the like, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
