Properties and stability
1. Use and store according to specifications. It will not decompose and avoid contact with oxides.
2. It has a pungent smell and is easy to deliquesce. Easily soluble in water and ethanol. At 0°C, 102g of ammonium formate can be dissolved in 100g of water; at 20°C, 143g of ammonium formate can be dissolved in 100g of water; at 80°C, 531g of ammonium formate can be dissolved in 100g of water.
Storage method
This product should be kept sealed and dry.
Synthesis method
1. Obtained from the neutralization of formic acid and ammonia. Freeze formic acid and water, circulate ammonia gas under stirring to make the pH value 7-7.5, cool to -5°C, and filter to obtain ammonium formate.
2. In 90% formic acid solution in, introduce ammonia gas.
After passing in a sufficient amount of ammonia gas, the temperature rises, and the heat released can promote the precipitation of ammonium formate. Filter out the crystals, recrystallize them with absolute ethanol, and dry them in a vacuum desiccator with 99% sulfuric acid.
3. 100 parts of methyl formate, 100 parts of water, 0.1 part of formic acid, adjust the pH value to 2.5, heat to 70°C with stirring, add 20 parts of ammonia water, keep the pH value at 2 to 3, After about 1 hour, 70% of methyl formate has been hydrolyzed. Internal steaming is performed. When the distillation head temperature is 10°C, unreacted methyl formate and methanol are evaporated, leaving an acidic ammonium formate solution in the evaporator. Neutralize with ammonia and then evaporate to obtain ammonium formate with a content of 98%.
Purpose
1. Analytical reagents. Precipitation of alkali metals from noble metal salts.
