Potassium chloride can be used as a chemical raw material for manufacturing various potassium salts, such as: Potassium permanganate, potassium nitrate, potassium carbonate, caustic potassium, potassium chlorate and other potassium salts. For example, potassium chlorate is used to make matches, flames, * * main raw materials ； Potassium carbonate can be used to make optical glass ； Potassium permanganate can be used as a bleaching agent and in manufacturing * * ； Potassium chloride is a flux used in the electrolysis of magnesium chloride to produce metal. exist * * Potassium chloride can be used as a flame retardant ； It is used as a diuretic in medicine and can replace potassium chloride to make low-sodium salt, which can lower blood pressure. ； In the metallurgical industry, it can also be used for quenching metals. ； It can be used as cementing agent in oil fields. In addition, potassium chloride is needed in fields such as electroplating and photography. Potassium chloride has a wide range of uses. Potassium chloride is a physiologically acidic, water-soluble, fast-acting fertilizer that can significantly increase the yield of most crops. It can increase the synthesis of starch in potatoes and sugar in beets, and play a catalytic role in the absorption of oxygen and nitrate in the roots to synthesize protein. .Note ← ) # ← , .
The biggest use of potassium chloride is as potassium fertilizer. For those requiring chlorine-free potassium fertilizer, potassium chloride is used as raw material to prepare potassium sulfate for use.； Secondly, it is used as potassium salt products such as potassium chlorate and potassium hydroxide.
Electrolysis of a saturated solution of potassium chloride can produce potassium hydroxide, chlorine and hydrogen.
The original Jinan Huaiyin Chemical Plant used potassium chloride electrolysis to produce potassium hydroxide, with chlorine and hydrogen as by-products. It once established a joint venture with Russia to establish Jinan SPRING Chemical Co., Ltd. In the 1990s, domestic potassium chloride imports required quotas, and potassium chloride was unavailable for some time.
Our group company is the main company that produces potassium chloride in the country, Qinghai Salt Lake Group. The main products are 98% and 95% potassium chloride, with an annual output of more than 2 million tons. There are also many production processes, such as counter-flotation, forward flotation, reverse flotation and other crystallization processes.
