Feed-grade calcium formate as a new feed additive. Feeding calcium formate to increase weight, using calcium formate as a piglet feed additive can promote piglet appetite and reduce diarrhea rate. Adding 1% to 1.5% calcium formate to the piglet diet can significantly improve the production performance of weaned piglets. Other things to note are: the use of calcium formate is effective before and after weaning, because the hydrochloric acid secreted by the piglets themselves increases with age; calcium formate contains 30% easily absorbed calcium, and attention should be paid to adjusting the calcium-phosphorus ratio when preparing feed.
Industrial-grade calcium formate is used in construction as a fast setting agent, lubricant, and early strength agent for cement. It is used in building mortar and various concretes to accelerate the hardening speed of cement and shorten the setting time, especially in winter construction, to avoid slow setting speed at low temperatures. Fast demolding allows cement to increase strength and be put into use as soon as possible. Uses of calcium formate: various dry-mixed mortars, various concretes, wear-resistant materials, flooring industry, feed industry, and leather making. The dosage of calcium formate and precautions are about 0.5~1.0% per ton of dry mortar and concrete, and the maximum addition is 2.5%. The dosage of calcium formate gradually increases with the decrease in temperature. Even if 0.3-0.5% is used in summer, it will have a significant early strength effect.
In the food industry, Calcium Formate is used as a food additive and preservative. It is used as a calcium supplement and a source of organic acid. It can also be used as a flavor enhancer, helping to improve the taste of certain foods. Additionally, Calcium Formate is used as a preservative to extend the shelf life of certain foods, particularly bread and baked goods.
Calcium Formate is also used as a feed additive for animals, particularly swine and poultry. It is added to their feed to improve their growth and overall health. Calcium Formate helps to reduce the incidence of diarrhea and other digestive issues in animals, improving their overall well-being. It is also used as a source of dietary calcium, which is essential for healthy bone growth and development.
One of the main applications of Calcium Formate is as a setting accelerator in the construction industry. It is used as an additive in cement and concrete formulations to accelerate the setting process, resulting in faster curing times. This helps to improve the strength and durability of concrete structures. Calcium Formate is also used as an anti-freezing agent for concrete, helping to prevent the formation of ice and improving the workability of the mixture in colder temperatures.
Calcium Formate is used in the leather industry as a pickling agent to remove hair and other impurities from animal hides. It also helps to preserve and soften the leather.
Calcium Formate is used in oil and gas drilling fluids to control the pH and prevent the growth of microorganisms. It also helps to stabilize the viscosity of the drilling mud and reduce the friction and wear of the drilling equipment.
Acidic soil
In acidic soils, the acidity of calcium formate is relatively weak, but it can still provide calcium needed by plants. When used, attention should be paid to cooperating with other alkaline fertilizers to maintain the balance of soil ph.
Alkaline soil
For alkaline soil, the acidification effect of calcium formate is more significant, which can effectively reduce soil ph value, improve soil structure, increase soil permeability and water retention. At the same time, the calcium it provides can alleviate the problem of calcin deficiency caused by soil alkalinity.
Saline-alkali land
In saline-alkali land, calcium formate can neutralize alkaline salts in soil and reduce the toxic effect of salt on plants. However, the amount used should be strictly controlled to avoid further accumulation of soil salt.
In essence, calcium formate is formed as a co-product during the production of the organic compound trimethylolpropane. The manufacturing of calcium formate starts with a reaction between calcium hydroxide and formic acid. As formic acid is stronger as compared to carbonic acid, it reacts directly with calcium carbonate and produces calcium formate. The chemical equation for calcium formate is given below:
Ca(OH)₂ + 2HCOOH → Ca(HCOO)₂ + 2H₂O
The chemical reaction is carried out at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The calcium formate obtained in this way is dried and milled to transform it into powder form.
Calcium formate can also form naturally by a reaction between calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide. The chemical reaction results in the production of calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide. The formic acid then reacts with calcium hydroxide, resulting in the production of calcium formate. The process is carried out naturally and is a potential source of calcium formate for commercial and industrial applications.
