production method | 1. The powdery potassium sulfate is added with sulfuric acid, and after the reaction is completed at a certain temperature, the reaction is cooled to 50-60 ° C. And caked, and then sealed and preserved. 2. Burning potassium hydrogen sulfate can generate potassium pyrosulfate. 250g of potassium hydrogen sulfate was placed in a porcelain dish having a volume of 320, and heated to 340 °c in a muffle furnace. After 30min, the temperature was raised to-°c. Potassium bisulfate begins to decompose and foam, and water vapor emerges. When bubbling was stopped and white SO3 gas was generated, it was indicated that the polycondensation process of KHSO4 was completed. The resulting melt was transferred to a porcelain mortar, cooled to 50-60 °c, crushed while hot, and quickly transferred into the mill bottle and sealed with paraffin. 3. The potassium hydrogen sulfate is heated to 250 ℃, maintained for 30min, heated to 320~340 ℃, and decomposed: when bubbles are stopped and sulfur trioxide vapor appears, the heating is continued for 5~10min to stop burning, potassium pyrosulfate was obtained by cooling to 50-60 °c and crushing the melt, and sealed for storage. |
