Introduction | potassium hydrogen sulfate (chemical formula: KHSO4) is a potassium hydrogen sulfate salt. In nature, it exists in rare heavy potassium alum and heavy potassium alum. It belongs to the acid salt, acid strong, generally in the red wine industry and analytical chemistry used as acidic reagents. The aqueous solution precipitates insoluble potassium sulfate when mixed with ethanol, similarly to the mixed solution of potassium sulfate and sulfuric acid. |
properties | potassium hydrogen sulfate is a colorless crystal, soluble in water, and the aqueous solution is strongly acidic. When potassium bisulfate is heated to a high temperature, it loses water and generates potassium pyrosulfate, which can be decomposed into potassium sulfate and sulfur trioxide by continuing heating. |
Use | potassium hydrogen sulfate belongs to inorganic salt organic matter, which can be used as flux, food preservative, chemical reagent, etc. use as food preservative, chemical reagent, etc. use as an analytical reagent, preservative, and flux in the analysis of Silicon use as a flux for analyzing minerals and siliceous compounds. |
solubility in water (g/100ml) | grams dissolved per 100ml of water at different temperatures (℃): 36.2g/0 ℃;48.6g/20 ℃;54.3g/30 ℃;61g/40 ℃; 76.4g/60 ℃;96.1g/80 ℃;122g/100 ℃ |
production method | 1.87g of K2SO4 was mixed with 27ml of concentrated H2SO4 (relative density 1.84) in a platinum dish and heated carefully until the reaction became completely transparent. The melt of the reactant is poured into a porcelain or platinum vessel cooled in cold water, and after solidification, it is crushed and transferred to a closed bottle for storage. 2. Dissolve 50kg industrial potassium carbonate with 40kg distilled water, stir while heating, and filter insoluble impurities with three-layer filter paper after dissolution. Industrial sulfuric acid was slowly added to the clear filtrate under stirring, and the reaction was carried out: when the ph of the solution was 5 to 6, the addition of acid was stopped and allowed to stand. After the precipitate was complete, it was filtered, centrifuged and dried, and washed with distilled water until the hydrazine-ion content was acceptable. Add appropriate amount of distilled water by adding 7.5kg of water per 10KF of potassium sulfate, slowly add analytical pure sulfuric acid (9kg of sulfuric acid per 10kg of potassium sulfate) under stirring, and make it all dissolved by steam heating: add a little washed activated carbon, the mixture was heated and stirred for a while, and filtered under hot and reduced pressure. The clear and transparent filtrate is heated and evaporated at 80~100 °c (to prevent boiling when evaporating). When the density is 1.65~1.68, the heating is stopped and the crystallization is naturally cooled, when the crystallization is complete (about 25? (~ 30 °c), take out and spin dry, and dry in an oven at 100 °c. |
