Potassium oxide

CAS: 12136-45-7
Molecular Formula: K2O
Molecular Weight: 94.2
Product description:White powder, soluble in water to generate potassium hydroxide, and release a lot of heat. To add heat to the air flow was oxidized into potassium peroxide or potassium superoxide, easy to absorb carbon dioxide from the air as potash. With the acid reaction can generate the corresponding potash. The chemical properties of sodium oxide and potassium oxide are similar, but not easy oxidation in air.Mainly used for inorganic industry, also is manufacturing various potassium as potassium hydroxide, potassium sulphate, potassium nitrate, potassium chlorate and potassium chromate salt, etc. The basic raw material. Pharmaceutical industry used as a diuretic and drugs for the prevention and control of potassium deficiency. Dye industry for the production of G salt, reactive dyes, etc. Used in daily chemical industry process of soap. Battery industry used in the manufacture of alkaline battery electrolyte.
