Potassium sodium tartrate tetrahydrate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

It is obtained by neutralizing tartaric acid with potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. In the reaction pot equipped with stirring and steam heating tube, add solid alkali, liquid potassium hydroxide, add water to dissolve. Tartaric acid was added with heating and stirring until the pH of the solution was 7. Suction and filtering while hot, put the filtrate into the crystallization pot, cool and crystallize. After suction filtration, wash with water to remove chlorides, boil and dry below 48 ℃ to be the finished product.

Uses

Constituent of Fehling's solution


Potassium sodium tartrate tetrahydrate has been used in the preparation of Lowry reagent for the determination of microsomal protein concentration in rat hepatic microsomes by Lowry method. It may be used as a constituent to prepare DNS (3,5- dinitrosalicylic acid) reagent and Fehling′s solution B, which are used in the determination of reducing sugar.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Method for the determination of potassium in water and wastewater. Trace amounts of potassium can be determined in either a direct-reading or internal-standard type of flame photometer at a wavelength of 766.5 nm. Magnesium begins to interfere when the magnesium-to-potassium ratio exceeds 100:1. Minimum detectable concentration: Potassium levels of approximately 0.1 mg/l can be determined. A synthetic sample containing 3.1 mg potassium/l was analyzed in 33 laboratories by the flame photometric method, with a relative standard deviation of 15.5% and a relative error of 2.3%. /Potassium/|For more Analytic Laboratory Methods (Complete) data for SODIUM POTASSIUM TARTRATE (9 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
