Potassium nitrate, 1 X 2.5 kg (P8394-2.5KG)

Potassium nitrate (KNO₃) is a water-soluble inorganic salt that is commonly used as a source of nitrate. Potassium nitrate can be used in the following:       •KNO₃/Al₂O₃ is used as a solid base catalyst to synthesize by vapor-phase methylation of catechol with dimethyl carbonate. •KNO₃/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) catalytic system is used in the oxidation of benzyl halides to aldehydes and ketones in aqueous media. •In the Cu/CeO₂ catalytic system, KNO₃ can also be utilized as a promoter to enhance the soot oxidation activity and resistance to sulfur poisoning of the catalyst.
