What is the Advantage and Disadvantage of Potassium formate for wastewater treatment

Heavy snowfall in winter will cause snow and icing on the road area. In order to ensure smooth road traffic and facilitate the travel of vehicles and pedestrians, snow melting agents will be sprayed for treatment. With the strengthening of awareness of environmental protection, the use of potassium formate in snow melting agents has received attention. So do you know the advantages of using potassium formate as snow melting agent?

Although the current environmentally friendly snow melting agents like potassium formate still have many shortcomings, potassium formate is currently environmentally friendly in snow melting agents. Advantages of potassium formate snow melting agent:

1. Improve safety

2. Low dosage and fast speed

3. The working temperature (or application range) is low (the working temperature of table salt is -5&#;, and it can also work at -40&#;).

4. The continuous snow melting time is long, up to several days.

5. It has a wide range of adaptability, and it can be used in special places such as urban roads, highways, airports, and military locations.

6. Low cost and high cost performance.

The above points are mainly the advantages and characteristics of potassium formate environmental protection snow melting agent, and they are also the future development direction.

Potassium formate snow melting agent is green and environmentally friendly, and basically has no harm to bridges, airports, rails, roads, green plants and public facilities, and can reduce the impact and damage of ordinary snow melting agents on roads and the environment to a greater extent.

This is the common problem in the whole process of using environmentally friendly deicing agent. Potassium formate snow melting agent is less harmful to public infrastructure, soil layer, green plants, water quality, etc., that is to say, it exceeds the actual effect of salt snow melting, and highlights its environmental protection characteristics. If there is no slow smell, remove or reduce the corrosion of the deicing agent on the basic construction of machinery and equipment, and reduce or remove the damage to the soil layer, green plants, water environment, etc.

Recently, the first snow in has come to the north. The impact of heavy snow on traffic is not only during the snow, but also after the snow. According to the principle of "mechanical snow removal as the main and snow melting agent as the auxiliary", timely clean the snow on the road area to ensure the safety and smooth of the roads in the city. Potassium formate is also a relatively environmental friendly snow melting agent used in the snow removal battle.

The traditional snow melting agent is actually some salt substances, such as the common salt in the kitchen, which can be used as snow melting agent. The principle of snow melting agent is not complicated. After adding salt, the melting point of water will be reduced, so the solid snow or ice will turn into water.

Salts, also known as electrolytes, conduct electricity when dissolved in water. When the melted snow water has conductivity, the direct harm it brings is corrosiveness. For example, the steel used for automobile chassis belongs to alloy, which is composed of different metals. Under normal conditions, it has certain corrosion resistance. However, when the steel is exposed to the salty snow water, it will produce the so-called "primary battery effect" and accelerate the rusting.

The residual salt in the soil will also become a serious source of pollution. It will enter into the river water system along with the sewer system, leading to the improvement of the salt along the way. If the agricultural irrigation land uses these water sources, in the long run, there will be problems such as land salinization, which is a very bad environmental disaster.

Environmental friendly snow melting agent is mainly used as potassium formate. Compared with traditional salt snow melting agent, the advantage of potassium formate is that it is a non nitrogen salt low chloride product, which has neither dangerous ingredients nor any characteristics of causing any damage and pollution factors, and it is harmless to human body and aquatic animals. It can be completely biodegraded in water body, and it will not cause biological oxygen consumption. Therefore, the use of potassium formate as a snow melting agent is a very environmentally friendly deicing snow melting agent.

When the road surface is sprinkled with potassium formate snow melting agent, it will not cause corrosion to the car's tires and chassis. Therefore, potassium formate is also a deicing and snow melting agent used in airport runways, taxiways and aprons to maintain the friction coefficient of the road surface to the maximum extent and ensure the safe and normal taxiing, takeoff and landing of the aircraft, so it plays an unparalleled role in ensuring the flight safety.
