Potassium Hydroxide 90% Purity CAS 1310-58-3 Reagent Grade Inorganic Base for Chemical Synthesis and Industrial Applications

• • • • • • Product Overview

            Potassium hydroxide (CAS 1310-58-3) is a white, deliquescent solid available in flake or granular form with the molecular formula KOH and a molecular weight of 56.11 g/mol. It is a strong base that readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. The product is supplied at a minimum purity of 90.0% and exhibits strong alkaline properties, being highly soluble in water, ethanol, and methanol with significant heat generation upon dissolution. This reagent-grade product is manufactured under strict quality control and is available in 500g laboratory bottles and 25kg industrial bags.

            Synthetic Process

            Potassium hydroxide is primarily produced by the electrolysis of potassium chloride solution using membrane cell technology. The process yields potassium hydroxide, chlorine gas, and hydrogen gas. The product is concentrated, crystallized, and flaked or granulated to achieve the desired form for commercial distribution.

            Mechanism of Action / Application Principles

            As a fundamental chemical reagent, potassium hydroxide functions through several key mechanisms:

            • Strong Base: Potassium hydroxide is a strong base that completely dissociates in water to provide hydroxide ions. It is widely used in neutralization reactions, pH adjustment, and precipitation processes.

            • Saponification Agent: It is used in the production of soft soaps and in the saponification of fats and oils.

            • CO₂ Absorbent: Potassium hydroxide solutions are used to absorb carbon dioxide in various industrial and laboratory applications.

            • Chemical Synthesis: It serves as a reagent in numerous organic and inorganic synthesis reactions, including the preparation of potassium salts and various organic compounds.
