Raw Material for Potassium Oxalate Production

According to the Potassium Oxalate production plant project report, the major raw materials for Potassium Oxalate production include Oxalic Acid-Potassium Carbonate.

Production Process of Potassium Oxalate

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

• Production via Neutralization: The process involves the use of oxalic acid and potassium carbonate as the main raw materials for the production of potassium oxalate. The process begins with the neutralization reaction between oxalic acid and potassium carbonate, which results in the formation of potassium oxalate as the final product.

Potassium Oxalate is an odorless and colorless corrosive chemical compound. The molecular formula of the compound is K2C2O4, and its molecular mass is 166.22 g/mol. It is a metal salt that is obtained by neutralizing oxalic acid by treating it with potassium carbonate. The melting point and the boiling point of the compound are 160°C and 365.1°C, respectively. Moreover, the density is given by 2.13 g/cm3 at 20 °C. The flash point of the compound is 188.8°C. It is an anhydrous salt that is slightly soluble in water. However, it cannot be dissolved in alcohol. The compound can react as a basic chemical to neutralize acids, resulting in reactions that generate heat. Its monohydrate undergoes dehydration when heated at 160 °C. Potassium Oxalate monohydrate exhibits high solubility when compared to other simple neutral oxalates.
