Potassium Nitrate
POTASSIUM NITRATE=Saltpeter=Niter
Potassium Nitrate
Potassium nitrate (KNO3) is a crystalline inorganic nitrate salt that occurs naturally as saltpeter in rock cavities, dissolving easily in water.
It is a strong oxidizing agent, releasing oxygen gas when heated to accelerate combustion reactions.
Uses and Benefits
•Chlorine-free; making it the ideal potassium fertilizer for chlorine-sensitive high-value crops like tobacco, potatoes, and citrus.
•Stores heat in solar power plants due to its stable molten state and high heat capacity.
Applications
✓In producing fully water-soluble NPK fertilizers used in drip irrigation systems.
✓In tempering durable chemical glasses used for television and mobile device screens.
