Potassium Pyrosulfate
Product code RXSOL-98-6605-100
It is a white solid that is sparingly soluble in cold water but dissolves better in warm water.
Description
Potassium pyrosulfate, also called potassium disulfate, is an inorganic salt that serves as a strong dehydrating and fluxing agent in chemical synthesis, particularly for dissolving minerals and for fusion analysis, known for its high melting point (around 325°C) and hazardous nature, requiring careful handling due to its corrosive properties (causes severe skin burns and eye damage)
Application
Uses & Characteristics Fluxing Agent: Used in analytical chemistry, especially for dissolving difficult-to-dissolve substances like minerals, by fusing with them at high temperatures.
Dehydrating Agent: Its high thermal stability and ability to absorb water make it a good dehydrating agent.
