- The chemical
compound potassium chloride (KCl) is a metal halide salt composed of
potassium and chlorine. In its pure state it is odorless.
- It has a white
or colorless vitreous crystal, with a crystal structure that cleaves
easily in three directions.
- Potassium
chloride crystals are face-centered cubic. Potassium chloride is also
commonly known as "Muriate of Potash".
- Potash varies
in color from pink or red to white depending on the mining and recovery
process used.
- White potash,
sometimes referred to as soluble potash, is usually higher in analysis
and is used primarily for making liquid starter fertilizers.
- Potassium
chloride is an essential constituent of the body for intracellular
osmotic pressure and buffering, cell permeability, acid-base balance,
muscle contraction and nerve function.
- Potassium chloride
occurs naturally as sylvite, and it can be extracted from sylvinite.
- It is also extracted
from salt water and can be manufactured by crystallization from
solution, flotation or electrostatic separation from suitable minerals.
- It is a by-product
of the making of nitric acid from potassium nitrate and hydrochloric
acid.
- The majority of the
potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer, since the
growth of many plants is limited by their potassium intake.
- As a chemical
feedstock it is used for the manufacture of potassium hydroxide and
potassium metal.
- It is also used in
medicine, scientific applications, food processing, and as a sodium-free
substitute for table salt (sodium chloride).
- Potassium chloride
is also used as the third of a three drug combination in judicial
execution through lethal injection.
- It is sometimes used
in water as a completion fluid in petroleum and natural gas operations,
as well as being an alternative to sodium chloride in household water
softener units.
- One of the most
severe adverse effects is hyperkalemia. There have also been reports of
upper and lower gastrointestinal conditions including obstruction,
bleeding, ulceration, and perforation.
- The most common
adverse reactions to oral potassium salts are nausea, vomiting,
flatulence, abdominal pain/discomfort, and diarrhea.
- These symptoms are
due to irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and are best managed by
diluting the preparation further, taking the dose with meals or reducing
the amount taken at one time.
- World-wide
production figures for KCl exceed 1 million metric tons/year. Virtually
all commercial KCl is extracted from natural sources of the substance.
