Applications

 

1. Agricultural Applications

• Fertilizer & Soil Amendment

  • Provides soluble potassium for plant nutrition, improving crop yield and drought resistance.

  • Helps neutralize acidic soils (alkaline pH ~11.6).

• Organic Farming

  • Approved as a pH regulator in organic food production (e.g., EU, USDA standards).

2. Food Industry

• Food Additive (E501)

  • Buffering agent in cocoa/chocolate production to reduce bitterness.

  • Raising agent in gingerbread and other baked goods.

  • Alkaline salt in noodle/ramen production (improves texture).

3. Chemical & Industrial Uses

• Glass & Ceramics

  • Lowers melting point in glass production (especially TV/optical glass).

• Soap & Detergents

  • Softens water and enhances cleaning efficiency (historical "potash soap").

• Pharmaceuticals

  • pH adjuster in medicines and effervescent tablets.

4. Energy & Technology

• Biopower Plants

  • Absorbs CO2 in gas scrubbing systems.

• Fire Extinguishers

  • Component of wet chemical extinguishers (Class K fires, e.g., cooking oils).

5. Other Uses

• Traditional Applications

  • Wool washing (historical textile processing).

  • Pretzel lye solution for browning.

 

Key Properties Enabling These Uses

• High solubility in water (112 g/100 mL at 20°C).

• Strong alkalinity (pH 11.6 in solution).

• CO2 absorption capability.
