Potassium chloride

Introduction:
Potassium chloride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of KCl. It looks like table salt, odorless and salty. It is often used as an additive for low-sodium salt and mineral water. Potassium chloride is a commonly used electrolyte balance regulator in clinical practice. It has definite clinical effect and is widely used in various clinical departments.

Purpose:
Mainly used in inorganic industry, it is the basic raw material for manufacturing various potassium salts or alkalis, such as potassium hydroxide, potassium sulfate, potassium nitrate, potassium chlorate, potassium alum, etc. The medicine industry is used as diuretic and medicine to prevent and treat potassium deficiency. Dye industry is used to produce G salt, reactive dyes, etc. In agriculture, it is a kind of potash fertilizer. Its fertilizer effect is fast, and it can increase the water content in the lower layer of soil when applied directly to farmland, which has the effect of drought resistance. However, it is not suitable to be applied in saline-alkali soil and crops such as tobacco, sweet potato and sugar beet. Potassium chloride is similar to sodium chloride in taste (bitter), and is also used as an additive for low-sodium salt or mineral water. In addition, it is also used to make flame suppressant for muzzle or muzzle, heat treatment agent for steel, and for photography. It can also be used in medicine, scientific application, food processing, and salt can also be partially replaced with potassium chloride to reduce the possibility of hypertension.
