Physical and Chemical Properties
Potassium chloride (KCl, or potassium salt) is a metal halide salt composed of potassium and chlorine. It is odorless and has a white or colorless vitreous crystal appearance. The solid dissolves readily in water, and its solutions have a salt-like taste.
Application
1.The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer,called potash.
2.As a chemical feedstock, the salt is used for the manufacture of potassium hydroxide and potassium metal. It is also used in medicine, lethal injections, scientific applications, food processing, soaps, and as a sodium-free substitute for table salt.
3.It is used as a supplement in animal feed to boost the potassium level in the feed.
4.It is sometimes used in solution as a completion fluid in petroleum and natural gas operations, as well as being an alternative to sodium chloride in household water softener units.
5.Glass manufacturers use granular potash as a flux, lowering the temperature at which a mixture melts.
6.Because natural potassium contains a tiny amount of the isotope potassium-40, potassium chloride is used as a beta radiation source to calibrate radiation monitoring equipment.
7.Potassium chloride was once used as a fire extinguishing agent, and in portable and wheeled fire extinguishers.
8.Along with sodium chloride and lithium chloride, potassium chloride is used as a flux for the gas welding of aluminium.
9.Potassium chloride is also an optical crystal with a wide transmission range from 210 nm to 20 μm.
Storage
Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Stay away from sources of fire and heat. It should be stored separately from oxidants and avoid mixing storage. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain leaked materials.
