Properties and Usage:
Potassium thiosulfate (CAS 10294-66-3) has good reducibility and water solubility. It is an environmentally friendly product used in agriculture, industry, photography and other industries.
1. Agricultural applications
Potassium fertilizer and sulfur fertilizer: Potassium thiosulfate, as an effective source of potassium and sulfur, can promote plant growth and improve crop quality. It is especially suitable for crops with high potassium and sulfur requirements, such as cotton, corn and potatoes. In addition, its good compatibility enables it to be mixed with other fertilizers to enhance the nutrient absorption efficiency of crops.
2. Photography and printing
Fixer: In traditional black and white photography, potassium thiosulfate is used as a fixer to effectively remove unexposed silver salts and ensure the clarity and durability of the image.
3. Water treatment
Dechlorinator: Potassium thiosulfate can neutralize chlorine and chloramine in water in water treatment to ensure the safety and stability of drinking water and industrial water.
4. Mining and Metallurgy
Precious Metal Extraction: In the extraction of precious metals such as gold and silver, potassium thiosulfate, as an environmentally friendly alternative, gradually replaces the traditional cyanide process, providing higher environmental compatibility and extraction efficiency.
5. Chemical Reagents
Analytical Chemistry: As an important reducing agent, potassium thiosulfate is often used in titration in chemical analysis, such as in iodine titration reaction.
Storage conditions: Usually store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight.
Packing: This product is packed in 25kg 200kg cardboard drums, and it can also be customized according to customers' requirements
