Manufacturing process of Potassium Acetate
The manufacturing process of Potassium Acetate involves the following steps:
-
Raw Material Selection:
- High-purity Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) or Potassium Carbonate (K₂CO₃)
- Acetic Acid (CH₃COOH) of pharmaceutical or industrial grade
-
Reaction Process:
- The potassium source (KOH or K₂CO₃) is dissolved in purified water.
- Acetic acid is gradually added under controlled conditions.
- The reaction produces Potassium Acetate and water as a byproduct.
-
Filtration & Purification:
- The solution is filtered to remove any impurities or undissolved particles.
- The filtrate is then purified to achieve the required quality standards.
-
Crystallization & Drying:
- The purified Potassium Acetate solution is subjected to controlled evaporation.
- Crystallization occurs, forming high-purity Potassium Acetate crystals.
- The crystals are dried to remove residual moisture.
-
Milling & Sieving:
- The dried product is milled and sieved to obtain the desired particle size.
-
Final Quality Control:
- The final product undergoes rigorous testing to meet IP, BP, and USP specifications.
-
Packaging & Storage:
- The Potassium Acetate is packed in moisture-proof HDPE drums or bags.
- It is stored in a dry, cool place to maintain stability and prevent clumping.
