Raw Material for Potassium Hexametaphosphate Production

According to the Potassium Hexametaphosphate production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Potassium Hexametaphosphate include Potassium Hydroxide-Phosphoric Acid.

Production Process of Potassium Hexametaphosphate

The extensive Potassium Hexametaphosphate production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:

• From Potassium Hydroxide and Phosphoric Acid: The production process for potassium hexametaphosphate involves a neutralization reaction. In this reaction, phosphoric acid is mixed with potassium hydroxide, forming monopotassium phosphate. This intermediate is then heated to form potassium metaphosphate that goes through polymerization forming potassium hexametaphosphate as the final product.

Potassium hexametaphosphate has a molecular formula of K6(PO3)6 and a molecular weight of 708.6g/mol. It appears as white crystals or powder and has no odor. It shows limited solubility in water and has a density of around 2.4 g/cm³. It works as a sequestrant, emulsifier, and buffer that makes it useful in many applications. It has an alkaline pH of around 8.6 when dissolved in water. Its refractive index is 1.482 around. All these physical and chemical properties makes it useful in applications like food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal care industry.
