Potassium hydroxide, is a kind of inorganic compounds, chemical formula for KOH, is a common inorganic base, with strong alkaline, 0.1mol/L solution of pH 13.5, soluble in water, ethanol, slightly soluble in ether, easy to absorb the water in the air and deliquescent, absorb carbon dioxide and into potassium carbonate, mainly used as raw materials for the production of potassium salt, can also be used for electroplating, printing and dyeing.
Potassium hydroxide can be divided into two types: food grade and industrial grade. Among them, 99% of industrial -grade potassium hydroxide is mainly used in various fields such as leather, papermaking, printing and dyeing, and sewage treatment. , Various potassium salts, food additive ingredients, food processing container cleaning, eliminating Chemicalbook poison and other fields. Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are raw materials for handmade soap, all of which are strong alkali, but after completing the handmade soap, it becomes soap because of the saponicization of oil and fat, and the alkali will continue to decline. After the month, its alkaline drop to even below 9 will not cause significant damage to the skin.
Chemical properties: white rhombic crystal, industrial products for white or light gray block or rod shape. Soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, slightly soluble in ether.
Application:
1. Used for electroplating, carving, stone printing, etc.
2. Materials for potassium salt, such as potassium permanganate, potassium carbonate.
3. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to produce potassium boron boring, bodystopstickness, sand hepatol alcohol, obsecoplasic testosterone, progesterone, chanantin, etc.
4. In the light industry, it is used to produce potassium soap, alkaline batteries, cosmetics (such as cold frost, snowflake paste and shampoo).
5. In the dye industry, it is used to produce reducing dyes, such as reducing blue RSN.
6. Used as analytical reagents, saponification reagents, carbon dioxide and water absorbers.
7. In the textile industry, it is used for printing and dyeing, bleaching, and silk, and a large amount of the main raw materials for manufacturing artificial fibers and polyester fibers. It is also used to make melamine dyes.
8. It is also used in metallurgical heating agents and leather abandonment.
Packing, storage and transportation
Packing method: Solid can be packed into 0.5 mm thick steel drum tightly sealed, the net weight of each barrel is not more than 100 kg; Plastic bag or two layer kraft paper bag outside full opening or middle opening steel bucket; Thread mouth glass bottle, iron lid pressure mouth glass bottle, plastic bottle or metal bucket (jar) outside ordinary wooden box; Threaded glass bottles, plastic bottles or tinned steel barrels (cans) full of bottom plate lattice box, fiberboard box or plywood box; Tin plated sheet steel bucket (can), metal bucket (can), plastic bottle or metal hose outside corrugated carton.
