kaliumsulfa
Kaliumsulfa, commonly known as potassium sulfate, is an inorganic salt with the chemical formula K2SO4. It is used primarily as a source of potassium for plant nutrition and as a non-chloride fertilizer component. It appears as a white, odorless crystalline solid and is stable under normal conditions. It dissolves readily in water, producing a neutral to mildly acidic solution.
Industrial production typically proceeds by the reaction of potassium chloride with sulfuric acid: 2 KCl + H2SO4
Applications: The primary use is as a fertilizer, supplying potassium without introducing chloride ions, which can
Safety and handling: Potassium sulfate is considered of low acute toxicity. It can cause irritation to eyes,
Environmental considerations: When used as fertilizer, it provides potassium and sulfate to the soil; excessive application
