Potassium sulfate is a colorless crystalline substance with low hygroscopicity, resistant to caking, and excellent physical properties, making it easy to apply. It serves as an excellent water-soluble potassium fertilizer. Additionally, potassium sulfate is chemically neutral but physiologically acidic.
Purpose: Used in the military industry as a smoke suppressant for artillery shells. It serves as a raw material for producing potassium salts. In the dye industry, it functions as an intermediate. In the glass industry, it acts as a clarifying agent. In medicine, it is employed as a mild laxative. In the fragrance industry, it serves as an additive. In the food industry, it functions as a general-purpose additive. It is also utilized in biochemical tests for serum proteins.
