Potassium Acetate is a potassium salt that is used in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and chemical synthesis. It is used in the food industry as a pH stabilizer to maintain consistent acidity in processed foods and also as a preservative to extend the shelf life of food products. It also works as a humectant to retain moisture in baked goods and processed meats. It is used as a de-icing agent on airport runways and roads to lower the freezing point of water.

It is utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as a buffer in medical solutions to stabilize pH levels in intravenous fluids. It is also used as an electrolyte supplement to restore potassium levels in patients. Potassium Acetate is used in the chemical industry as a catalyst in chemical synthesis, like producing polyurethanes, and is added to heat transfer fluids for improved temperature control. It works as an active ingredient in Class K fire extinguishers and is effective in cooling and forming a crust over burning oils.

Feedstock for Potassium Acetate

The manufacturing of Potassium Acetate uses acetic acid and potassium carbonate as feedstock. These are the first line of raw materials, and their market dynamics affect the production of potassium acetate. So, it's important to know the factors that affect the sourcing of these chemicals. The procurement of acetic acid is influenced by several factors. Its demand in industries like textiles and packaging leads to price fluctuations and supply chain disruptions either because of geopolitical tensions or production issues, further impacting availability and costs. Its production costs are also affected by feedstock prices like natural gas and methanol, which affects its sourcing. Strict environmental regulations make manufacturers use sustainable practices that increase costs. Also, geopolitical factors like trade policies and tariffs lead to disruption in global supply chains and affect import/export dynamics.

Another major raw material is potassium carbonate, and its availability depends on several factors. Its growing demand in downstream industries, like food and beverage processing, glass manufacturing, agriculture, and personal care products, affects its sourcing. The production of potassium carbonate is also affected by the availability and cost of raw materials like potassium hydroxide and carbon dioxide. Also, environmental compliance can impact production costs and impose more sustainable practices. Global supply chain disruptions lead to fluctuations in availability and prices.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Potassium Acetate manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Potassium Acetate manufacturing.

• From Acetic Acid and Potassium Carbonate: The feedstock for this process includes Acetic Acid and Potassium Carbonate.

The production of Potassium Acetate involves a reaction between acetic acid and potassium carbonate. In this process, acetic acid reacts with potassium carbonate to form potassium acetate, along with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. The reaction takes place under controlled conditions for complete conversion of the reactants. After the reaction is complete, Potassium Acetate is separated and purified to get pure Potassium Acetate as the final product.
 

Properties of Potassium Acetate

Potassium Acetate has a chemical formula of CH3COOK and a molecular weight of 98.14 g/mol. It is a lustrous, colorless, or white solid with a density of 1.57 g/cm³. Its melting point is measured around 292 °C. It is insoluble in organic solvents but is soluble in ammonia, alcohol, and water. It has a faint acetic smell and a saline taste. Its boiling point is not defined as it decomposes upon heating. Its pH ranges between 7.5 and 9.0, making it slightly alkaline. All these properties make it useful in various fields, including food preservation and pharmaceuticals.
