Inorganic Salts

Pyrotechnics, glass manufacture, tempering steel, reagentPotassium nitrate has a vast variety of applications. Appropriate preparations of potassium nitrate find use in fertilizers, food preservatives, tooth paste, rocket propellants and fireworks.

Potassium hydroxide acts as the precursor for most of the soft and liquid soaps, and for numerous potassium-containing chemicals. It is widely used in the manufacture of detergents, fertilizer, rayon, paper, dyestuffs, various drugs, drug intermediates, fine chemicals, and petroleum products.

Mortar, plasters, cements, gas manufacturing to remove ammonia, in lubricants, water softening, petrochemicals, soil conditioner, paving materialsCalcium hydroxide is used as a flocculant in water and sewage treatment.

Silver nitrate, 1.0N Standardized Solution is used for volumetric analysis in laboratories. It is widely used as an analytical reagent owing to its immediate reaction with halide ions forming insoluble precipitate of silver(I) halides.

Magnesium sulfate is suitable for sensitive molecular biology applications. It used as a component of bath salts and beauty product. It is utilized by the athletes to soothe sore muscles and effective in the removal of splinters.

As a primary standard for preparing volumetric alkali solutions and as a buffer in pH determinations. Potassium hydrogen phthalate is used as a primary standard for acid- base titrations as well as for calibrating pH meters. It acts as a buffer in pH determination.

Potash is used in black/brown patina (copper, brass, bronze). Its use include decorative color effects on copper, brass, bronze and nickel. Sulfurated potash has been used in the treatment of acne and other skin disorders usually in the form of a lotion with zinc sulfate.

Used as Portland-cement retarder; tile and plaster; It is the source of sulfur and sulfuric acid; Also used in polishing powder and paints, dyeing and calico printing. It is likewise employed in zinc metallurgy. It is employed in drying industrial gases, solids and many organic liquids.

Cesium iodide is used as an input phosphor in x-ray image intensifier tube of fluoroscopy equipment. It is also used as an equipment for electromagnetic calorimetry in experimental particle physics. It is often employed as a beamsplitter in Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometers.

Niobium pentoxide is the precursor to a majority of niobium compounds, powder metallurgy products, and alloys. It is also used in glass, optic and ceramic applications. The nanoparticles of niobium pentoxide are useful in the preparation of electrochemical capacitors and cathodes.

Sodium acetate is usually used as buffering agent with acetic acid. It is used in many areas like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, bronzing and textile industry. It is employed in production of dye materials, as a polymerization catalyst, as a polymer stabilizer, preparation of gel stains,...
