Information on Potassium Acetate
Potassium Acetate is a derivative of Acetic Acid. Potassium Acetate is freely soluble in water. Melting Point of Potassium Acetate is 72°C. Potassium Acetate is hygroscopic in nature. It should be stored in tightly closed containers in a Room Temperature.
Synthesis / Manufacturing Process of Acetates
The molar raw material for all the acetates is Glacial Acetic Acid. Acetic Acid was initially prepared by aerobic fermentation of Ethanol. Ethanol was catalytically oxidized to Acetaldehyde, which in turn oxidized to Acetic Acid. Today Acetic Acid is prepared by carboxylating methanol. Acetic Acid is present as a catalyst. All the inorganic acetates are manufactured by reacting Glacial Acetic Acid with their hydroxides. This is Acid-Base Neutralization reaction.
