Potassium chloride (KCl), ionic compound whose molecules consist of one potassium atom and one chlorine atom. It is a white-to-colourless face-centred cubic crystal. Potassium chloride can be extracted from sylvinite, a mineral mixture of sodium chloride
It is useful in water softener units, certain de-icing products and calibration of the radiation monitoring equipment. It finds use as a scotophor in dark-trace CRTs. View all Usage The main use of potassium chloride is in the manufacture of fertilizers. It finds use in medicine as an ...
A water softener (10) and a method of operating the same are provided to allow for the efficient use of either NaCl or KCl as the regenerant salt. A user interface (50) is provided to allow the user to indicate to the computer (48) controlling the water softener (10) whether NaCl or...
At one time, it was also added to soap powders and solutions as a water softener. Ca2P2O7 is used as the abrasive/polishing agent in fluoride paste. Cyclic polyphosphates or metaphosphates are the salts with the general formula [PnO3n]n− with n = 3–7 such as M3P3O9 (Figure 10...
