Synthesis Methods and Applications of Formic Acid Derivatives
Formic acid has good antibacterial activity due to its acidity,and its molecular weight is small and easy to decompose,making it less likely to remain in animals.However,the strong acidity of formic acid is irritating and corrosive to the gastric mucosa and intestines.Making into formic acid derivatives by formie acid not only has the antibacterial ability of formic acid,but also avoids its corrosiveness.The article discusses in detail the synthesis methods and application fields of two common formic acid derivatives(ammonium formate and potassium diformate),and prospects future research directions and markets.
