Potassium hydroxide (KOH) Discription
Potassium hydroxide (KOH), also known as caustic potash, is an important chemical product. The upstream raw materials are mainly potassium chloride and energy, and the energy is mainly electricity. The downstream potassium hydroxide is widely used in chemical industry, dye industry, light industry, food industry, medicine, agriculture and other industries, and has a wide range of applications.
As the market for potassium hydroxide has increased in recent years, and the sodium hydroxide industry is relatively sluggish, the production of potassium hydroxide has resumed in recent years, new projects have increased, and some sodium hydroxide equipment has undergone technological conversion. In the case of conversion to potassium hydroxide equipment, China’s potassium hydroxide production capacity will increase steadily from 2015 to 2020, and China’s potassium hydroxide production capacity will reach 1.2 million tons in 2020.
By the end of 2020, the total production capacity of potassium hydroxide in China will reach 1.2 million tons/year, mainly in the northwest, southwest, north and east of China. Among them, the salt lake magnesium industry in Qinghai ranks first with a capacity of 300,000 tons. The production capacity of 206,000 tons ranks second. The production capacity of Ruida Taifeng, Yanhu Industry, Changyi Haineng and Osio has exceeded 100,000 tons in 2020.
