potassium hexafluorosilicate - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
The double decomposition of fluorosilicic acid solution and a certain concentration of potassium chloride or potassium sulfate solution at 70~80 ℃, after the reaction is completed, the product silica and potassium fluorosilicate are separated, dried, after crushing, the final product of potassium fluosilicate was obtained. Alternatively, potassium fluorosilicate is prepared by neutralizing fluorosilicic acid with potassium carbonate or potassium hydroxide.
