Potassium hydroxide is commonly known as caustic potassium, potassium ash, etc., and there are two main forms of industrial products, namely solid and liquid, of which the solid state is white or light gray flakes and block rods, and the liquid potassium hydroxide is a light yellow liquid. The chemical properties are similar to sodium hydroxide, which is extremely alkaline and corrosive, soluble in water and will release a large amount of heat, and deliquescent, which is easy to absorb moisture in the air and deliquescent, and absorb carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate. When dissolved in water, alcohol, or treated with acids, a large amount of heat is generated. The pH of the 0.1mol/L solution is 13.5. (no water). Moderate toxicity, half lethal dose (rat, oral) 1230mg/kg. At present, potassium hydroxide is mainly used to synthesize potassium carbonate and potassium permanganate, which are mainly used in chemical, food, pharmaceutical, agriculture and other fields.
Potassium hydroxide can be divided into two types: food grade and industrial grade, of which industrial-grade 99% potassium hydroxide is mainly used in leather, papermaking, printing and dyeing, sewage treatment and other fields; Food-grade potassium hydroxide is mainly used in pharmaceutical intermediates, various potassium salts, food additive ingredients, food processing container cleaning, chemical poison elimination and other fields. Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are the raw materials for making handmade soap, both of which are strong alkalis, but after the completion of handmade soap, its alkalinity becomes soap because of the saponification of oil and oil, and the alkalinity will continue to decline, after 1-2 months, its alkalinity will drop to even below 9, and it will not cause major damage to the skin.
