General description

Potassium sulfate is an inorganic salt that can be prepared by reacting phosphogypsum and potassium chloride.[1] It forms needlelike mullite particles on heating with aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3) and silicon dioxide (SiO2).[2] Its application to the soil has been reported to minimize the bronzing of rice plants.[3] Its surface integration growth kinetics has been obtained in the temperature range of 20-50°C.[4] The theoretical heat capacity curve of potassium sulfate in vapor phase has been obtained.[5]

Application

Potassium sulfate may be used as a sulfonating agent in the preparation of 4′-dibenzo-18-crown-6-sulfonic acid via sulfonation of dibenzo-18-crown-6.[6]

Questions

  1. 안녕하세요. 해당 제품 potassium sulfate (CAS Number : 7778-80-5) 를 사용해 Copper seed layer etching이 가능할까요? 해당 제품을 Cu etchant로 사용하는 것이 가능한지 궁금합니다. 감사합니다.

    1 answer
    1. Potassium sulfate may react with copper, but generally, potassium persulfate or ammonia persulfate is used for copper etching, for example, 216224 or 248614.
