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.

The Application of Calcium Formate in Different Soil Conditions
 
 

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.

 
Process of Calcium Formate
 

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
