Properties and Usage:

1. Fertilizer additives in the agricultural field: Potassium thiosulfate, as an important component of liquid fertilizer, can provide crops with essential sulfur and potassium nutrients. Sulfur is an important element for promoting crop growth and increasing yields, while potassium enhances crop resistance to drought and pests.

2. Optical and photographic fixatives: In traditional black and white photography, potassium thiosulfate is used as a fixative to terminate the film and paper development process and remove unreacted silver halide to prevent further darkening and fading of the image.

3. Water treatment: Potassium thiosulfate can be used as a precipitant in water treatment, especially for removing heavy metals from water bodies, such as reducing toxic hexavalent chromium to harmless trivalent chromium. In drinking water or wastewater treatment, potassium thiosulfate is used to remove excess chlorine

4. Chemical synthesis: Potassium thiosulfate can be used as a reducing agent and oxidizing agent in the chemical industry, and plays a key role in the synthesis of certain organic compounds.

5. Metal cleaner: Used to clean and treat metal surfaces to improve their finish and corrosion resistance.

6. Electroplating solution: used in silver plating process to improve the uniformity and adhesion of the electroplated layer.
