Product Information

• Name: Potassium sulfate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Potassium sulfate is a salt of potassium and sulfuric acid. It has a synergistic effect with sodium salts in the treatment of water hardness, which leads to a phase transition temperature below that of sodium sulfate alone. Potassium sulfate is also used as an analytical reagent for the determination of sulfate in solution. The reaction solution is heated to release the adsorbed gas, which is then analyzed by gas chromatography or infrared spectroscopy. Structural analysis was performed using X-ray crystallography on potassium sulfate crystals. Potassium sulfate has been shown to have physiological effects such as an increase in the concentration of iron in blood plasma and an increase in phosphate excretion from the kidneys at high doses. It has also been shown to have biological properties such as thermal expansion and phosphorus pentoxide reactivity.
