Potassium chloride

Introduction

Potassium chloride is a white crystal, extremely salty, odorless and non-
toxic. Soluble in water, ether, glycerol and alkali, slightly soluble in
ethanol, But it is insoluble in anhydrous ethanol, has the properties of
moisture absorption and easy caking.solubility in water increases rapidly
with increasing temperature, and is often associated with sodium salts It
acts as a metathesis and generates new potassium salts.
Mainly used in inorganic industry, it is the basic raw material for making
various potassium salts or bases such as potassium hydroxide, potassium
sulfate, potassium nitrate, potassium chlorate and potassium dichromate. The
pharmaceutical industry is used as a diuretic and a drug for the prevention
and treatment of potassium deficiency. The dye industry is used to produce G
salts, reactive dyes, etc. In agriculture, it is a potash fertilizer. Its
fast fertilizer effect, directly applied to farmland, can increase the
moisture in the lower layer of the soil, and has the effect of resisting
drought. However, it is not suitable to be applied to saline, alkaline land
and crops such as tobacco, sweet potato and sugar beet. Potassium chloride
tastes similar to sodium chloride (bitter), and is also used as an additive
for low sodium salts or mineral water. In addition, it is also used to make
muzzle or muzzle flame retardants, steel heat treatment agents, and for
photography. It can also be used in medicine, scientific applications, food
processing, and sodium chloride can also be replaced by a portion of
potassium chloride in the salt to reduce the possibility of hypertension.
