Technology Process of Potassium hydroxide

There total 3 articles about Potassium hydroxide which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield:

potassium (25681-80-5) + oxygen → KO (29857-72-5,71769-53-4) + potassium (7440-09-7)

Guidance literature:

In gas; molecular K2 beam generated by expansion of alkali vapor through a nozzle crossed with a beam of ground state oxygen atoms; monitoring by chemiluminescence or induced fluorescence;

DOI:10.1063/1.441820

Reference yield:

hydroxyl (3352-57-6) + potassium (7440-09-7) → potassium hydroxide (12401-70-6,29857-72-5,71769-53-4)

Guidance literature:

In gaseous matrix; excess of He; OH radicals generated by pulsed irradiation of H2O vapour; 530 K; fluorescence spectroscopy; Kinetics;
