Potassium Chloride
Potassium Chloride
Potassium chloride is a white crystal or crystalline powder used in buffers; fertilizers; and explosives. It can be used to replenish electrolytes and restore water-electrolyte balance in treating hypokalemia.
Potassium chloride is an inorganic salt commonly used in fertilizer industry. Its generation via chlorination of microcline has been reported. The intrinsic and extrinsic conductivity of KCl crystals have been measured. The impact of KCl on the activity of mitochondrial membrane, cristae and matrix proteins has been investigated. It facilitates the preparation of isoxazolines in aqueous medium.
