Applications:

1. Fertilizer

Potassium nitrate is mainly used in fertilizers, as a source of nitrogen and potassium – two of the macronutrients

for plants. When used by itself, it has an NPK rating of 13-0-44.

2. Oxidizer

Potassium nitrate is an efficient oxidizer, producing a lilac-colored flame upon burning due to the presence of potassium. It is one of the three components of black powder,

along with powdered charcoal (substantially carbon) and sulfur, both of which act as fuels in this composition. As

such it is used in black powder rocket motors, but also in combination with other fuels like sugars in "rocket

candy". It is also used in fireworks such as smoke bombs, made with a mixture of sucrose and potassium nitrate.

It is also added to cigarettes to maintain an even burn of the tobacco and is used to ensure complete combustion

of paper cartridges for cap and ball revolvers.

3. Food preservation

In the process of food preservation, potassium nitrate has been a common ingredient of salted meat since the

Middle Ages,but its use has been mostly discontinued due to inconsistent results compared to more modern

nitrate and nitrite compounds. Even so, saltpeter is still used in some food applications, such as charcuterie and

the brine used to make corned beef. Sodium nitrate (and nitrite) have mostly supplanted potassium nitrate's

culinary usage, as they are more reliable in preventing bacterial infection than saltpetre. All three give cured salami

and corned beef their characteristic pink hue. When used as a food additive in the European Union, the compound

is referred to as E252; it is also approved for use as a food additive in the USA and Australia and New Zealand

(where it is listed under its INS number 252).

4. Food preparation

In West African cuisine, potassium nitrate (salt petre) is widely used as a thickening agent in soups and stews

such as Okra soup and Isi ewu. It is also used to soften food and reduce cooking time when boiling beans and

tough meat. Salt petre is also an essential ingredient in making special porridges such as kunun kanwa literally

translated from the Hausa language as 'salt petre porridge'.

5. Pharmacology

Used in some toothpastes for sensitive teeth. Recently, the use of potassium nitrate in toothpastes for treating

sensitive teeth has increased and it may be an effective treatment.

Used in some toothpastes to relieve asthma symptoms.

Used in Thailand as main ingredient in Kidney Tablets to relieve the symptoms of cystitis, pyelitis and urethritis.

Used historically to treat asthma.

Combats high blood pressure and was once used as a hypotensive.

6. Other uses

Electrolyte in a salt bridge

Active ingredient of condensed aerosol fire suppression systems. When burned with the free radicals of a fire's

flame, it produces potassium carbonate.

Component (usually about 98%) of some tree stump removal products. It accelerates the natural decomposition

of the stump by supplying nitrogen for the fungi attacking the wood of the stump.

In heat treatment of metals as a medium temperature molten salt bath, usually in combination with sodium nitrite.

A similar bath is used to produce a durable blue/black finish typically seen on firearms. Its oxidizing quality, water

solubility, and low cost make it an ideal short-term rust inhibitor.

To induce flowering of mango trees in the Philippines.

Thermal storage medium in power generation systems. Sodium and potassium nitrate salts are stored in a

molten state with the solar energy collected by the heliostats at the Gemasolar Thermo solar Plant. Ternary salts,

with the addition of calcium nitrate or lithium nitrate, have been found to improve the heat storage capacity in the

molten salts.

Packing and Storage:

Plastic woven bag or kraft paper bag inner with plastic bag in 20/25/50/500/ 1000kg net.

compound or sulphur or reducer during storage and transportation in case of explosion. Protect the material from

the sun and rain during transportation. Carefully load and unload in case of crash
