Sodium formate, HCOONa, is the sodium salt of formic acid, HCOOH. 
Sodium formate usually appears as a white deliquescent powder.
Sodium formate is soluble in water and glycerene, slightly soluble in ethanol. Under strong heat, Sodium formate went into hydrogen and sodium oxalate and finally turned into sodium carbonate. 
Sodium formate is produced by the interaction of formic acid and sodium hydroxide.
Sodium formate can be used as chemical analysis reagent, used for the determination of sodium formate, arsenic and phosphorus, also can be used as disinfectant, mordant, etc.  

Sodium formate in powder form is used in industrial plants of formic acid to improve the performance of limestone FGD systems; The advantage is application security and health. 
Preparation of sodium formate: Sodium bicarbonate reacts with formic acid in the laboratory, the solution remains basic, removing Fe3+, filtering and adding formic acid to the filtrate, and the solution is acidic, then evaporated, crystallized to obtain crude sodium.
Sodium formate is an organic sodium salt which is the monosodium salt of formic acid. 
Sodium formate has a role as a buffer and an astringent. 
Sodium formate contains a formate.

Preparation of Sodium formate:
For commercial use, sodium formate is produced by absorbing carbon monoxide under pressure in solid sodium hydroxide at 130 °C and 6-8 bar pressure:
CO + NaOH → HCO2Na
Because of the low-cost and large-scale availability of formic acid by carbonylation of methanol and hydrolysis of the resulting methyl formate, sodium formate is usually prepared by neutralizing formic acid with sodium hydroxide. 
Sodium formate is also unavoidably formed as a by-product in the final step of the pentaerythritol synthesis and in the crossed Cannizzaro reaction of formaldehyde with the aldol reaction product trimethylol acetaldehyde [3-hydroxy-2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propanal].

In the laboratory, sodium formate can be prepared by neutralizing formic acid with sodium carbonate. 
Sodium formate can also be obtained by reacting chloroform with an alcoholic solution of sodium hydroxide.
CHCl3 + 4 NaOH → HCOONa + 3 NaCl + 2 H2O
or by reacting sodium hydroxide with chloral hydrate.
C2HCl3(OH)2 + NaOH → CHCl3 + HCOONa + H2O
The latter method is, in general, preferred to the former because the low aqueous solubility of CHCl3 makes it easier to separate out from the sodium formate solution, by fractional crystallization, than the soluble NaCl would be.

Sodium formate may also be created via the haloform reaction between ethanol and sodium hypochlorite in the presence of a base. 
This procedure is well documented for the preparation of chloroform.

Uses of Sodium formate:
Sodium formate is used in several fabric dyeing and printing processes. 
Sodium formate is also used as a buffering agent for strong mineral acids to increase their pH, as a food additive (E237), and as a de-icing agent.

In structural biology, sodium formate can be used as a cryoprotectant for X-ray diffraction experiments on protein crystals, which are typically conducted at a temperature of 100 K to reduce the effects of radiation damage.
The urticating hair of stinging nettles contain sodium formate as well as formic acid.
Solid sodium formate is used as a non-corrosive agent at airports for de-icing of runways in mix with corrosion inhibitors and other additives, which rapidly penetrate solid snow and ice layers, detach them from the asphalt or concrete and melt the ice rapidly. 
Sodium formate was also used as a road deicer in the city of Ottawa from 1987 to 1988.

The high freezing point depression e.g. in comparison to the still frequently used urea (which is effective but problematic due to eutrophication) effectively prevents the re-icing, even at temperatures below −15 °C. 
The thawing effect of the solid sodium formate can even be increased by moistening with aqueous potassium formate or potassium acetate solutions. 
The degradability of sodium formate is particularly advantageous with a chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 211 mg O2/g compared with the de-icing agents sodium acetate (740 mg O2/g) and urea with (> 2,000 mg O2/g).
Saturated sodium formate solutions (as well as mixtures of other alkali metal formates such as potassium and cesium formate) are used as important drilling and stabilizing aids in gas and oil exploration because of their relatively high density. 

By mixing the corresponding saturated alkali metal formate solutions any densities between 1,0 and 2,3 g/cm3 can be set. 
The saturated solutions are biocidal and long-term stable against microbial degradation. 
Diluted, on the other hand, they are fast and completely biodegradable. 
As alkali metal formates as drilling aids make it unnecessary to add solid fillers to increase the density (such as barytes) and the formate solutions can be recovered and recycled at the drilling site, formates represent an important advance in exploration technology.
