Usage: 1.Mainly used as raw materials for the production of potassium, such as potassium permanganate, potassium carbonate and so on. In the pharmaceutical industry, for the production of potassium boron, spironolactone, heparanol, progesterone and testosterone propionate and so on. In the light industry for the production of potassium soap, alkaline batteries, cosmetics (such as cold cream, cream and shampoo). In the dye industry, for the production of reducing dyes, such as the reduction of blue RSN and so on. In the electrochemical industry, for electroplating, sculpture and so on. In the textile industry, for printing and dyeing, bleaching and mercerizing, and a large number for the manufacture of man-made fibers, polyester fiber main raw materials. In addition, it is also used for metallurgical heaters and leather degreasing and so on.
2.Used aschemical raw materials, for medicine, household chemicals and so on.
3.Used as an absorbent for analytical reagents, saponification reagents, carbon dioxide and moisture, also used in the pharmaceutical industry
