Other Details:
- The chemical compound potassium chloride,is a metal halide salt composed from potassium and chlorine. It is odorless in its pure state and is obtained in crystalline structural solid or powdered form. Generally Potassium chloride is colorless, but may be grey, red or pink according to its origin. It resembles very closely to sodium chloride.It occurs purely in nature as mineral sylyite and is found in combination with many minerals, and in brines and in ocean water. It is well soluble in water,alcohol and alkalines. A unique property of potassium chloride is that it easily dissolves itself in warm water than in cold water
- The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer, since the growth of many plants is limited by their potassium intake. As a chemical feedstock, it is used for the manufacture of potassium hydroxide and potassium metal. It is also used in medicine, lethal injections, scientific applications, food processing, and as a sodium-free substitute for table salt (sodium chloride)
- Potassium chloride was once used as a fire extinguishing agent, used in portable and wheeled fire extinguishers. Known as Super-K dry chemical, it was more effective than sodium bicarbonate-based dry chemicals and was compatible with protein foam. This agent fell out of favor with the introduction of potassium bicarbonate (Purple-K) dry chemical in the late 1960s, which was much less corrosive and more effective. It is rated for B and C fires
- Along with sodium chloride and lithium chloride, potassium chloride is used as a flux for the gas welding of aluminum.Potassium chloride is also an optical crystal with a wide transmission range from 210 nm to 20 µm. While cheap, KCl crystal is hygroscopic. This limits its application to protected environments or short term uses such as prototyping. Exposed to free air, KCl optics will "rot". Whereas KCl components were formerly used for infrared optics, it has been entirely replaced by much tougher crystals like ZnSe
- Potassium chloride has also been used to create heat packs which employ exothermic chemical reactions, [5] but these are no longer being created due to cheaper and more efficient methods, such as the oxidation of metals ('Hot Hands', one time use products) or the crystallization of sodium acetate (multiple use products). Potassium chloride is used as a scotophor with designation P10 in dark-trace CRTs, e.g. in the Skiatron
