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 292oC. Potassium Acetate is hygroscopic material. It should be stored in tightly closed containers in a Room Temperature. Synthesis / Manufacturing Process of Acetates The major raw material to all the acetates is Glacial Acetic Acid. Acetic Acid was initially prepared by aerobic fermentation of Ethanol. Ethanol was catalytically oxidised to Acetaldehyde, which in turn oxidised to Acetic Acid. Today Acetic Acid is prepared by carbonylating methanol to Acetic Acid in presence of a catalyst. All the inorganic Acetates are manufactured by reacting Glacial Acetic Acid with their Hydroxides. This is Acid-Base neutralization reaction. |
