CAS 590-29-4

Potassium formate

Description:

Potassium formate, with the chemical formula CHKO2 and CAS number 590-29-4, is the potassium salt of formic acid. It appears as a white, hygroscopic solid that is highly soluble in water. This compound is characterized by its ionic nature, consisting of potassium cations (K+) and formate anions (HCOO-). Potassium formate is known for its use as a de-icing agent, particularly in airport runways, due to its lower environmental impact compared to traditional salts. Additionally, it serves as a buffering agent in various chemical processes and is utilized in the production of certain pharmaceuticals and as a food additive. The substance exhibits mild toxicity and should be handled with care, as it can cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Its thermal stability allows it to be used in high-temperature applications, making it a versatile compound in both industrial and laboratory settings.

Potassium formate is a chemical compound that is often used in wastewater treatment. It is an antimicrobial agent that has been shown to be effective against bowel disease and has a low toxicity. Potassium formate inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to them and preventing their ability to grow. Formic acid, one of the components of potassium formate, also has inhibitory properties. The complex enzyme present in the cell wall of bacteria, peptidoglycan hydrolase, catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds and prevents the growth of bacteria by inhibiting protein synthesis. Potassium formate is biocompatible with most polymers and can be used for analytical purposes. Formic acid is a substance found in both plants and animals that functions as an antimicrobial agent. It binds to bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA, preventing protein synthesis and DNA replication and causing cell death by inhibiting production of proteins vital for cell division. Formic acid is also known
