Potassium formate is used more and more in drilling fluids because of its strong anti-collapse inhibition, protection of oil and gas reservoirs, low corrosivity, environmental protection and recyclability. What are the factors affecting the caking of solid potassium formate?
The factors affecting the caking of potassium formate are as follows:
1. temperature Temperature is the external factor affecting the solid caking of potassium formate. Due to the different ambient temperatures in different places, the high temperature during packaging and the high moisture content among potassium formate crystals, caking problems will arise. The physical properties of solid potassium formate are easy to absorb moisture, which makes the original white crystals flake. Potassium formate is widely used in oil field industry. If it is used in liquid, whether it is caked or not will not affect the quality and use of the product.
2. pressure The influence of pressure on the caking of solid potassium formate is also an important factor. The larger the plastic deformation between grains, the larger the contact area between grains, the smaller the distance between grains, and the greater the agglomeration strength. The higher the pressure is, the greater the crushing pressure is, and the greater the strength of the caking is.
3. Particle size Solid potassium formate agglomeration strength is related to the shape of particles, the pore structure formed by the particles themselves or accumulation. Because of the free diffusion of these channels, some physical or chemical action occurs on the surface of the particles, resulting in agglomeration.
The content of potassium formate produced by CDchem is high and the impurities are low. The stable supply of potassium formate reduces the occurrence of caking.
