Learn About Potassium Sulfate
Physical and Chemical Properties of Potassium Sulfate
Potassium sulfate (chemical formula K₂SO₄) is an important potassium salt whose primary uses are concentrated in three major sectors: agriculture, industry, and medicine, with agricultural fertilizers accounting for the largest share.
Basic Appearance: Industrial potassium sulfate appears as colorless transparent orthorhombic crystals or uniform white crystalline powder. After precision purification and controlled crystallization, the product presents high whiteness, neat crystal morphology and no fine powder agglomeration, meeting high-grade commercial packaging and application standards.
Solubility Characteristics: Potassium sulfate is slightly soluble in water with low and linearly changing solubility at normal temperature, which is significantly different from highly soluble nitrate and zinc salt products. It is almost insoluble in ethanol, acetone and other organic solvents, providing a unique physical basis for our low-temperature selective crystallization and high-purity separation technology.
Stability & Hygroscopicity: The product features extremely low hygroscopicity and excellent chemical stability under normal storage and production conditions. It does not deliquesce or agglomerate easily in humid air, with stable physical properties and long storage cycle, suitable for long-distance transportation and long-term stockpiling.
Thermal Performance: Potassium sulfate has an ultra-high melting point of 1067℃ and will not decompose at conventional industrial heating temperatures. It possesses outstanding high-temperature resistance and chemical inertness, which is widely applicable in high-temperature industrial scenarios.
Product Index Features: High-quality potassium sulfate features low chloride residue, low water-insoluble content and neutral pH value. We can customize particle size gradation and bulk density to adapt to agricultural fertilization, industrial processing and high-end material manufacturing standards.
Core Industrial Application Scenarios
High-End Agricultural Industry
As a premium chlorine-free potassium fertilizer, potassium sulfate is the core fertilizer for chlorine-sensitive crops such as fruits, vegetables, tobacco and tea. It effectively promotes crop sugar accumulation, improves fruit quality and enhances plant stress resistance, widely used in high-value cash crop planting and ecological agriculture projects.
