Sulfate de Potassium

Potassium Sulfate (K₂SO₄) is an inorganic salt commonly used in the fertilizer industry. It is available as a white crystalline powder, odorless, non-flammable, and sparingly soluble in water. Potassium sulfate is widely used in agricultural and industrial applications for its ability to provide both potassium and sulfur, two essential nutrients for plant growth. It is also employed in various industrial applications where a potassium source is needed without the addition of chloride.

Applications:

1. Agricultural Fertilizers:

   • Primarily used for fertilizing chloride-sensitive crops such as fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
   • Provides potassium and sulfur to plants, essential for their growth and disease resistance.

2. Chemical Industry:

   • Used in the production of glass, chemicals, and ceramics.
   • Employed in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products and for certain industrial applications requiring a potassium source.

3. Water Treatment and Detergents:

   • Used in water treatment as a potassium source in certain processes.
   • Applied in detergent formulations for its stabilizing properties and pH regulation.
