use | potassium tetrasulfate is a useful research chemical. |
Overview | Polysulfuric acid and its salts are low-valent sulfur compounds formed during the oxidation to sulfate with similar molecular structure (SxO62-) and physical and chemical properties Unstable intermediates. As people gradually realize its important role in chemical engineering, environmental monitoring and metabolism of some microorganisms (such as sulfur bacteria), the research in the field of polysulfate is showing a trend of recovery. |
product use | potassium tetrasulfate is an unstable intermediate with similar molecular structure (SxO62-) and physicochemical properties formed during the oxidation of low-valent sulfur compounds to sulfate. It can be used as a nutrient and a battery enhancer. |
