METHOD OF PRODUCING ZIRCONIUM FORMATE Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC C07C51/41 C07C53/06 C07F7/00 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing zirconium formate. Disclosed method involves reaction of an inorganic zirconium salt and concentrated formic acid. Zirconium hydroxocarbonate pentahydrate of composition Zr(OH)₂CO₃×5H₂O is preliminarily dissolved in 70% nitric acid with weight ratio of salt powder : acid = 1:14 and held at temperature of 50 °C to obtain a dry residue, obtained dry residue is dissolved in 85% formic acid, taken in accordance with stoichiometry, and held at room temperature until completion of spontaneous reaction to obtain precipitate in form of white crystalline powder.

EFFECT: development of hardware- and technologically simple method of producing zirconium formate without using toxic reagents.
