Physicochemical property
Molecular weight: 163.94 g/mol | Appearance: white crystalline or powdery solid. |
Odor: Odorless or slightly sulphide odor. | Density: 1.62 g/cm³ (dodecahydrate, 20°C). |
Melting point: approx. 73.4°C (dodecahydrate decomposition). | Chemical Safety: Unrestricted goods |
Solubility: Water: easily soluble in water, aqueous solution is strongly alkaline (pH about 12); Organic solvent: insoluble in ethanol, and other organic solvents. | |
Hydrolysis reaction: Fully ionized in water to form phosphate ions and sodium ions | |
Complexation: Form an insoluble precipitate with metal ions (e.g. Ca² +, Mg² +) for softening hard water. | |
Thermal stability: It decomposes when heated to high temperatures, forming sodium phosphate and oxygen. | |
Acid base: The aqueous solution is strongly basic and can react with acid to form phosphate. |
Potassium dihydrogen phosphate for use
1. Agriculture
Efficient fertilizer:
Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is a kind of high concentration phosphorus potassium compound fertilizer,
which can provide phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) two key nutrients for plants.
Suitable for foliar spraying, drip irrigation or soil application to promote crop growth, flowering and fruit.
Often used in fruit trees, vegetables, flowers and other high value-added crops.
Advantages: good water solubility, high absorption efficiency, no residue to the soil.
2. Medicine and cosmetics
Buffer: In pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, potassium dihydrogen phosphate is used as a buffer to regulate pH.
Nutritional supplements: For the preparation of drugs containing phosphorus and potassium,
such as electrolyte supplements.
Stabilizers: In cosmetics, help stabilize the formula and prevent ingredients from breaking down.
3. Industrial use
Water treatment:
Corrosion inhibitor: Used for boiler water and cooling water treatment to prevent corrosion of metal equipment.
Water softener: combined with calcium and magnesium ions to prevent scale formation.
Flame retardants: Used for flame retardant treatment of wood, textiles and plastics.
Electroplating additives: Used in the electroplating industry to regulate the pH value and
conductivity of electroplating solutions.
4. Research and laboratories
Buffer solution: Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is a common reagent for preparing buffer solutions and
is widely used in biochemistry and molecular biology experiments.
Analytical reagent: Used in chemical analysis as a standard substance or reagent.
Medium component: In microbial culture, as a source of phosphorus and potassium.
