Properties and stability

1. Basic properties

Colorless crystal or white crystalline powder. Easy to absorb moisture. Easily soluble in water and ethanol (1g product dissolves in 0.5ml cold water, 0.2ml boiling water, 2.9ml ethanol). Aqueous solutions react alkaline to litmus. The pH of 0.1mol/L aqueous solution is 9.7. Relative density 1.57. Melting point 292℃. Low toxicity, LD50 (rat, oral) 3250 mg/kg

During thermal decomposition, the intermediate product is potassium oxalate, and the final product is potassium carbonate.

Storage method

Store sealed and dry.

Synthesis method

1. Obtained from the reaction of glacial acetic acid and potassium hydroxide.

2. Take 2000g of potassium bicarbonate and add 1000g of water. Slowly add 650g of 98% acetic acid under heating and stirring. A large amount of carbon dioxide gas is produced. Controlled acid additionspeed so that the solution does not overflow. After adding acetic acid, boil the solution for about half an hour, cool slightly and then filter. The filtrate is evaporated under constant stirring until the temperature reaches 160-180°C, at which time most of the crystals precipitate. Stir vigorously, cool, and filter out the crystals.

3. Neutralize with potassium hydroxide and acetic acid aqueous solution, the solution was concentrated to precipitate crystals, and the resulting crystals were dried at 180°C for 1 day.

Purpose

1. This product is used as a dehydrating agent, fiber treatment agent and analytical reagent. In the pharmaceutical industry, as a culture medium for Penicillium, potassium acetate is used as raw material in the production of cortisone acetate, prednisolone acetate, dexamethasone acetate, betamethasone, and fluocinolone acetate.

2. Used as analytical reagents and catalysts.

3.Used as analytical reagent to adjust ph value. Used as desiccant. Make clear glass. Used in the pharmaceutical industry.

4.Can be used to treat fluoroplastics in the molten state at 295℃/30min to improve the surface bonding performance. Also used as dehydrating agent and buffering agent. It can also catalyze the reaction between CTBN terminal carboxyl groups and epoxy groups.
