| Industrial potassium chloride is mainly used in inorganic industry, manufacturing of chemical raw materials, and as a G salt and reactive dye in the printing and dyeing industry. It is widely used in the petroleum industry, rubber industry, and can also be used as a flame suppressant for muzzle and muzzle, as well as for steel heat treatment; In agriculture, as a type of potassium fertilizer, it can be directly applied to farmland and has a drought resistance effect. When applying nitrogen fertilizers, potassium fertilizer should be used in conjunction with nitrogen fertilizers to promote the absorption and transformation of nitrogen by mulberry trees, synthesize proteins, promote good growth of mulberry trees, enrich leaves, mature early, and improve the yield and quality of mulberry leaves; Food grade potassium chloride can also be used to make low sodium salt and mineral water additives; Potassium chloride can also be used as softened water. Many households purchase bulk potassium chloride softened water. There is actually a difference between soft water and hard water, which is related to mineral composition. Hard water refers to water with high mineral content, although its composition is different, it definitely contains calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. The deposition of scale or calcium in vessels is usually caused by hard water, and equipment containing potassium chloride can be used to filter hard water; Potassium chloride is also used as an environmentally friendly method for melting ice. Although it has a salt like effect, it will not leave any residue. After the melting of ice and snow, excess potassium can usually be absorbed by nearby plants; Early fire extinguishers also contained potassium chloride, a compound that can suffocate flames, but the new generation of fire extinguishers has been replaced with other more effective compounds. However, this chloride is still used in situations such as forest fires. |
