Physical and Chemical Properties

Potassium chloride (KCl, or potassium salt) is a metal halide salt composed of potassium and chlorine. It is odorless and has a white or colorless vitreous crystal appearance. The solid dissolves readily in water, and its solutions have a salt-like taste.

Applications

  • The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer, called potash.
  • As a chemical feedstock, the salt is used for the manufacture of potassium hydroxide and potassium metal. It is also used in medicine, lethal injections, scientific applications, food processing, soaps, and as a sodium-free substitute for table salt.
  • It is used as a supplement in animal feed to boost the potassium level in the feed.
  • It is sometimes used in solution as a completion fluid in petroleum and natural gas operations, as well as being an alternative to sodium chloride in household water softener units.
  • Glass manufacturers use granular potash as a flux, lowering the temperature at which a mixture melts.
  • Because natural potassium contains a tiny amount of the isotope potassium-40, potassium chloride is used as a beta radiation source to calibrate radiation monitoring equipment.
  • Potassium chloride was once used as a fire extinguishing agent, and in portable and wheeled fire extinguishers.
  • Along with sodium chloride and lithium chloride, potassium chloride is used as a flux for the gas welding of aluminium.
  • Potassium chloride is also an optical crystal with a wide transmission range from 210 nm to 20 μm.
