POTASSIUM NITRATE
[EIRI/EDPR/1573] J.C. 368
INTRODUCTION
Potassium Nitrate is the most important ingredient of mixed fertilizers. Most of the Potassium nitrate, (KNO3) produced, commercially, in the United States is based on the reaction of potassium chloride. The reaction is manipulated chemically to yield chlorine as a co product. The process is typical than other process, because in this process nitrosyl chloride is the product during the reaction. This is very dangerous compound.
Potassium Nitrate is also in the form of nitre, saltpeter. When KNO3 is heated, dangerous fire and explosion is possible.
This is one of the oldest of potassium compound to find application in the arts. Recovery of potassium nitrate from earthy deposits, its production and recovery from the products of bacterial fermentation of organic matter & organic residues, from the nitrate plantations of the Napoleonic wars etc., have been matters of considerable importance. Once gunpowder has been introduced in European warfare, much was dependent on the adequate supplies of this vital raw material. In addition arts of pieces which needed gunpowder especially mining & quarrying, were dependent on this material. The earlier process consists of recovering potassium nitrate from natural sources such as chile deposits. Many processes have been tried but process employing the reaction of saltpeter with potassium chloride has been successful.
The success of the process depends on the fact that the solubility of potassium nitrates increases rapidly with temperature, that of sodium chloride very little, so that the bulk of the sodium chloride formed in the reaction can be crystallised & separated at an elevated temperature, leaving the potassium nitrate in solution to be recovered by a subsequent operation.
