Preparation, storehouse, and transportation of Potassium Hydroxide

Potassium hydroxide is a white orthorhombic demitasse, and the artificial product is a white or light argentine block or rod. It's fluently answerable in water, releases a lot of heat of dissolution when dissolving, dissolves in ethanol, and is slightly answerable in ether. Easy to deliquescence, has strong water immersion. So what are the medication, storehouse, and transportation of potassium hydroxide? Let's take a look next.

Medication

1. The raw material potassium chloride of the diaphragm electrolysis system is dissolved into an impregnated result in a swab-melting tank. When hotted to 90 °C, potassium carbonate, acidulous potash, and barium chloride are added to remove contaminations similar to calcium, magnesium, and sulfate revolutionaries. After sedimentation, sediment junking, hydrochloric acid the annulled and meliorated potassium chloride result containing 280-315 g/ L of potassium chloride is preheated to 70-75 ℃ and also electrolyzed to gain potassium hydroxide, chlorine, and hydrogen. The attention of potassium hydroxide attained by the diaphragm system is 10 to 11, which needs to be clarified by evaporation, attention, and cooling to gain a result containing 45 to 50 Potassium Hydroxide; Solid Potassium Hydroxide, or tableted potassium hydroxide products.

2. The medication of the electrolyte of mercury electrolysis is the same as that of diaphragm electrolysis. In the electrolysis chamber, graphite (or essence) is used as the anode, and mercury is used as the cathode. The chlorine gas generated by electrolysis is transferred to the chlorine gas drying process, and the potassium blend generated flows into the mercury result chamber. Utmost of the unreacted potassium chloride is treated in a light Neptune state and returned to the raw material dissolving process. The potassium blend reacts with water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen. Because the attention of Potassium Hydroxide from the mercury result chamber is 45 to 50, it can be used as a liquid Potassium Hydroxide product, or it can be distilled into a solid alkali or a short potassium hydroxide product by boiling the alkali pot.

3. The artificial medication of potassium hydroxide is a waterless result of electrolytic potassium chloride. Because potassium hydroxide is more delicate to dehydrate than sodium hydroxide, the chastity of commercially available products can generally only reach 85 to 86. Still, it can be purified in the same way as for the sanctification of sodium hydroxide, if sanctification is needed.

4. After the potassium chloride is meliorated, it's preheated and continuously fitted into the electrolytic cell, and the electrolytic result is concentrated and snowed.

5. The ion exchange membrane system is espoused, the artificial potassium hydroxide is used as the material in the anode chamber, and pure water is used as the material in the cathode chamber. Under the action of the DC field, k ions enter the cathode chamber through the picky anode membrane and induce OH-ions. The reagent potassium hydroxide is concentrated and dried to gain solid potassium hydroxide.

Storehouse and transportation

1. Transportation preventives when transporting by rail, sword cans can be transported by gondola. The packaging should be complete and the lading should be secure at the time of payload. During transportation, make sure that the vessel doesn't blunder, collapse, fall, or be damaged. It's rigorously interdicted to blend and transport with ignitable or combustive accouterments, acids, comestible chemicals, etc. The transport vehicle shall be equipped with leakage exigency treatment outfit during transportation;

2. Preventives for the storehouse of potassium hydroxide store in a cool, dry, and well-voiced storehouse. Keep down from fire and heat sources. The moisture in the storehouse is rather not further than 85. The packaging must be sealed and mustn't get wet. It should be stored independently from combustibles, acids, etc., and shouldn't be stored together. Storage areas should be handled with suitable accouterments to contain tumbles;

3. Packaging system of potassium hydroxide solids can be packed into sword cans with a consistence of 0.5 mm and tightly sealed, with a net weight of no further than 100 kg per barrel; plastic bags or two- subcaste kraft paper bags with full or middle openings in sword cans; threaded glass bottles, glass bottles, plastic bottles or essence barrels ( barrels) with iron lids and ordinary rustic boxes; glass bottles, plastic bottles or drum-plated distance sword barrels (barrels) with screw covers; full nethermost chassis boxes, fiberboard boxes or plywood boxes; Drum distance sword cans ( barrels), essence cans ( barrels), plastic bottles or essence hoses outside corrugated boxes.
